The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Fulton County, Georgia, over records related to the 2020 election, escalating the Trump administration’s efforts to boost the president’s false claims that his loss to Joe Biden was rigged.

Citing a need to investigate “compliance with federal election law,” the lawsuit demands Georgia election officials turn over “all used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County.”

Fulton County officials previously told the Justice Department that those records are sealed and cannot be produced without a court order, according to the lawsuit.

The Justice Department’s lawsuit comes amid increased pressure by President Donald Trump for members of his administration to find evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, despite those claims having been repeatedly debunked and dismissed in dozens of cases by the courts over the past five year

This lawsuit is a waste of time and money
