Fulton County officials have moved to block a federal subpoena that seeks personal information from election workers involved in the 2020 presidential election, labeling the demand an overreach and intimidation tactic as the Trump administration pursues investigations into alleged fraud.
The Department of Justice issued the subpoena for names, addresses, and contact details of Fulton County, Georgia, election workers. In response, the county’s Board of Registration and Elections filed a motion to quash the subpoena, calling it “unprecedented and harassing.”
The federal request reportedly targets home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses tied to the county’s election operations—a heavily Democratic jurisdiction that became central to fraud allegations after 2020. County leaders contend the subpoena is overly broad and unnecessary, posing risks of harassment for thousands of workers.
This follows prior federal actions that included the seizure of 2020 election records from the county as part of ongoing investigations linked to Trump administration efforts to scrutinize the 2020 presidential election.
The subpoena falls under a broader probe into fraud claims in the 2020 election, particularly in Fulton County. The county itself acknowledged counting more than 315,000 uncertified votes on Election Day.
