Atlanta — The U.S. Department of Justice issued an April 20 subpoena seeking the names, addresses and phone numbers of every person who worked in Fulton County's 2020 general election, and on Monday the county filed a motion to quash that subpoena, arguing it is grossly overbroad and seeks to intimidate election workers. The filing follows an FBI search in January that removed ballots and documents from a Fulton County elections warehouse; county lawyers say the subpoena threatens First Amendment rights and state election administration, while the DOJ said the production of records is part of an investigation into alleged irregularities. The court will review briefs this week and determine whether the subpoena stands.
