According to a copy of the warrant, FBI personnel in Fulton County were authorized to seize all physical ballots, tabulator tapes, electronic ballot images and voter rolls obtained during the 2020 election from the county's main election facility.
The FBI said in a statement that agents were executing a "court-authorized law enforcement action" at the facility. "Our investigation into this matter is ongoing so there are no details that we can provide at the moment," they said.

The Justice Department sued Fulton County in December seeking access to ballots related to the 2020 lawsuit, though the FBI's search appears unrelated.
Fulton County is fighting the lawsuit and says the Justice Department has not made a valid argument for accessing them.
