FBI agents descended Wednesday on Fulton County’s election operations hub in Georgia, the same county that became the epicenter of voter fraud complaints following the 2020 election.
Agents were seen entering the Fulton County Election Hub and Operation Center, a facility opened in 2023 and billed by state officials as a way to streamline election administration.
Authorities would not say exactly what prompted the search, but Fox News Digital was told the matter is tied to the 2020 election. The FBI declined further comment, and the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to requests for clarification.
FBI Atlanta confirmed it was “executing a court authorized law enforcement action” at the address of the county’s elections hub on Wednesday afternoon.
In an email to 11Alive, the FBI’s Atlanta office said agents were operating at 5600 Campbellton Fairburn Road in Union City, which serves as Fulton County’s main election operations center.
“Our investigation into this matter is ongoing so there are no details that I can provide at the moment,” a spokesperson said in the email.
An 11Alive crew was dispatched to Union City to gather additional information.
The federal activity comes weeks after the Justice Department sued Fulton County over access to election materials from the 2020 presidential race, keeping scrutiny on a county long at the center of election integrity battles.
