The FBI says election irregularities in the 2020 presidential ballot count are at the center of its investigation into a Fulton County, Georgia, elections office.

On Jan. 28, FBI and other U.S. officials carried out a raid on the elections office. Court records released by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia—which authorized the search warrant for the federal raid—reveal that the investigation centers around allegations of potential tampering in the 2020 election.
