I think the CIA and State were directly running this. I can promise you they would rather snuff this out before it gets traction by deleting the evidence then give the republicans the ability to discredit them forever by proving they subverted a presidential election.

Yup. And Apply the same rationale to the Epstein files.

MSNBC is apoplectic today.

Cry more, bitch. If you STILL think Biden got 81 million votes and no significant fraud occurred, you’re an absolute TDS retard.

Queenz yall

Can’t remember the exact details, but election data was kept in a warehouse that’s locked and guarded 24/7, some time after the election the guards randomly left for about 20 minutes, miraculously at that specific time someone broke in and stole unspecified information.

Those guards have an unfortunate history of bad luck when taking breaks. They had transferred to Georgia in late August 2019 after previously being employed by the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.

NEW: FBI executes search warrant on Fulton County Election Center, seizing contentious 2020 election ballots

For six years, the public has still not been allowed to inspect 145,000 ballots that six sworn affidavits say were counterfeit.

A judge ordered these ballots inspected years ago. Fulton County refused.

Excerpts from witness affidavits include:

Susan Voyles, 20-year election official:
"Pristine" ballots "difference in the texture of the paper" with "a different feel" and "no markings" and approximately "98% for Joe Biden."

Georgia Democrat observer:
“Hundreds of ballots with no folds or creases. Perfect black bubbles. All for Biden.”

Another Georgia Democrat:
“All had perfect black bubbles and were all Biden. I heard ‘Biden’ over 500 times in a row.”

@VoterGa
has been fighting in court for six years just to inspect these ballots.

Why was Fulton County so determined to keep them hidden?

I'm more surprised they kept them. I asked Grok why they were still around and the response is below:

Federal law requires that election records and papers—including voted ballots—for federal elections (such as the 2020 presidential election) be retained and preserved for 22 months after the date of the election. This is mandated by 52 U.S.C. § 20701, which applies to records related to voting in elections involving candidates for President, Vice President, Congress, etc.
The November 3, 2020, general election date means the standard minimum retention period would have ended around September 3, 2022. After that point, absent other legal holds (e.g., court orders, ongoing litigation, or investigations), officials could destroy the materials.
In the recent event (January 2026), the FBI executed a search warrant and seized approximately 700 boxes of 2020 ballots and related records from Fulton County's elections facility in Georgia. This appears tied to a federal investigation into the handling and preservation of those 2020 records, potential violations of federal election laws, or related matters (as cited in reports from sources like AP News, ABC News, and the search warrant details).
When federal authorities like the FBI seize such materials as part of an active investigation:
The original 22-month statutory minimum no longer governs the custody in the same way, as the records are now under federal control pursuant to a court-authorized warrant.
Federal agencies must preserve evidence in their possession for as long as it remains relevant to the investigation, any resulting prosecutions, appeals, or related civil matters. There is no fixed "expiration" like the 22-month rule; preservation can last years or indefinitely if litigation or archival needs arise.
In practice, seized election materials in high-profile cases (especially involving allegations of fraud or irregularities) are often retained long-term as potential evidence.
Reports indicate the 2020 ballots in Fulton County had been preserved beyond the initial 22 months, partly due to ongoing litigation and court orders (e.g., from a Georgia judge keeping some records sealed and preserved indefinitely during related cases). The FBI seizure removed them from local custody, so the question of how long they (the FBI) must preserve them now falls under federal evidentiary rules rather than the election-specific retention statute.
No public information specifies an exact new timeline for these particular seized ballots, as it depends on the investigation's duration and outcomes. If no charges result or cases conclude, they could eventually be returned or destroyed per federal records disposition policies, but sensitive materials like this are typically held securely for extended periods.
This event has sparked controversy, with some local officials and groups questioning the warrant's scope and timing more than five years after the election.
