“With this terrible overstep of power, the #DOJ is now weaponizing laws meant to protect #voters for their political #vendetta,” Nabers added.

“This administration’s unending obsession with the #2020election results in #Georgia uses outright #lies to compensate for the fact that they lost,” Kristin Nabers, the state director for All Voting is Local, said in a statement. “President Trump’s bidding, the Department of Justice is attacking the very notion of #FreeElections in this country, demanding to see #ballots from #FultonCounty because their candidate didn’t win there half a decade ago.”

The act requires #election officials to retain a large swath of documents, including #VoterRegistration & #ballots, for 22 months after any federal election. It also requires ofcls to make the documents available for “inspection, reproduction, & copying” in response to a request by the AG.

In Friday’s lawsuit, Dhillon claimed that the Fulton board hadn’t complied with the letter’s demands & alleged that Ché Alexander, the clerk of courts for #FultonCounty, violated record retention requirements in the #CivilRightsAct of 1960 by not producing the documents.

…While Dhillon’s lawsuit makes the demand for #FultonCounty #ballots official, it wasn’t the DOJ’s first attempt at securing access. In Aug, #EdMartin, head of the DOJ’s vague weaponization task force, reportedly sent a letter to a Fulton County judge demanding to “immediately access” 148k absentee ballots being stored in a ballot warehouse.

In Oct, Dhillon, again on #PamBondi’s behalf, sent the Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections a letter demanding the records.

The suit, filed Friday on US AG #Pam Bondi’s behalf by Assistant AG for “Civil Rights” Harmeet Dhillon, marks the first time the #DOJ has officially demanded actual #ballots from #state or local officials as part of its pursuit of a myriad of election #ConspiracyTheories long & repeatedly debunked.

In reality, #Trump lost the race by a significant margin & his repeated allegations of fraud have been widely debunked.

In a new lawsuit, the #DOJ is demanding “all used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County.”
