ATLANTA — The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is concerned about the Jan. 28, 2026, FBI raid of the Fulton County election center in Georgia, which was allegedly conducted to obtain 2020 election data.
“We are deeply troubled by the execution of a sealed search warrant at a Fulton County election facility in Union City, Georgia,” said Derwyn Bunton, chief legal officer, SPLC. “This is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to weaken the strength of our democracy by seeding doubt in our electoral process. Free and fair elections are the bedrock of our democracy, and the FBI’s attempts to seize the Fulton County ballots from the 2020 election are a violation of the foundational principles of our country.
“The results of the 2020 Georgia election have been scrupulously counted, examined and certified by the Georgia secretary of state. This is a blatant attempt to undermine the integrity of our electoral process and threaten the voting rights of Georgians.”
