FBI Searches Fulton County, Georgia Election Hub in 2020 Probe

FBI agents executed a search Wednesday at the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center in Fairburn, Georgia, a facility that has been central to election operations since it opened in 2023 and sits in a county that became a flashpoint for voter‑fraud allegations in 2020. Fox News reporters observed agents entering the building, but the bureau declined comment, and no warrant or subject of the search has yet been made public. A source told Fox News Digital the investigation is related to the 2020 election, suggesting federal authorities are still actively pursuing leads tied to how votes were handled in the Atlanta‑area county that figured prominently in Trump’s fraud claims and subsequent prosecutions. The Justice Department also did not immediately comment, leaving key questions—what records are being sought, whether any targets have been identified, and how this relates to prior state and federal probes—unanswered. The search raises the prospect of new federal scrutiny of local election administration in one of the nation’s most closely watched swing states as the 2026 midterms approach.
