- The Department of Justice does not object to unsealing the evidence used to secure a search warrant for a Fulton County elections hub, according to David Becker, executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research.
- The FBI and DOJ removed all 2020 election ballots from Fulton County, despite the warrant only authorizing the removal of copies, with Becker noting "a lot of defects" in the warrant, including incorrect address and expired statute of limitations.
- Becker criticizes the allegations in the filing, stating they are based on conspiracy theories that "have literally been rejected by every court they've been heard in," and expresses curiosity about whether the affidavit will rehash old arguments from five years ago.
JUSTICE MATTERS
AlterNet and New York Times cover different stories, with AlterNet focusing on the release of evidence related to a raid on a Georgia elections office, while the New York Times discusses a federal raid in a small Idaho town. The New York Times uses phrases like "federal agents stormed a racetrack" and "reverberations are still shaking the community", which creates a sense of drama and impact, whereas AlterNet quotes David Becker saying "they didn't care what officials said; they weren't leaving without the 2020 ballots", highlighting the potential overreach of the raid. The New York Times' coverage obscures the context of the raid in Georgia, and the systemic issues related to election interference, instead focusing on the community impact of a separate raid in Idaho.
