“…
Even after Trump was indicted in two jurisdictions for his efforts to overturn the results of the election, he and his allies continued efforts to discredit the vote. In 2024,
a shift in the composition of the Georgia State Election Board—an administrative body that can promulgate voting regulations for the state—reinvigorated those efforts. Since then, the five-person entity has been controlled by a pro-Trump majority. Trump has gone so far as to
describe the three members of the MAGA majority as “pit bulls, fighting for honesty, transparency, and victory."
All of which is why it was hardly surprising when the board’s new majority voted to reopen an investigation into Fulton County’s conduct during the 2020 election. The board also sent subpoenas seeking troves of documents related to the 2020 election, and in July
asked the Justice Department for assistance. The following month, Justice Department official Ed Martin
wrote a letter seeking election records. Trump’s Justice Department followed up again in October,
purportedly in response to the Fulton County board’s requestdemanding election records—and
filed a civil suit when the county did not comply. A Fulton County official has
publicly signaled that these letters were related, both to each other and to Wednesday’s search.
None of this, however, explains exactly what federal law enforcement officials are doing executing this search warrant. Nothing in the public record remotely suggests that a crime was committed in the tallying of Georgia’s vote—even after
numerous audits and
court cases challenging the results.…”
