Here's what we know so far about the FBI's raid of Fulton County election hub

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) What happened? Federal agents on Wednesday descended on Fulton County’s election operations center to execute what an FBI spokesman called a “court-ordered activity.” The 600,000-square-foot elections hub in south Fulton is used for voting and county election board meetings.

It also houses documents from 2020, including the physical ballots cast by voters, which have been kept under a court-ordered seal because of pending litigation.

A team of FBI agents scoured the building over the course of several hours. Agents could be seen loading hundreds of boxes into large trucks behind the facility.

Over some non descriptive allegations of destroying records or something. Whole thing seems super fishy

I hope all voters check on their registration before elections.

they will be going after Democrats and leaving everyone else alone.

Would that do anything to keep them at bay?

In GA, voters don't have to register with a party. We have open primaries.
