The Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing Fulton County, Georgia, to obtain voting records from the 2020 election.

The Fulton County suit, filed on Dec. 11, stems from a July resolution passed by the State Election Board of Georgia “calling upon the assistance of the Attorney General to effect compliance with voting transparency.”
