A federal judge in Georgia has ordered the unsealing of documents related to a controversial FBI raid on an election facility in Fulton County by Tuesday. The raid, which took place late last month, resulted in the seizure of ballots from the 2020 election, sparking intense scrutiny and debate. The judge's decision comes as the Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chair Robb Pitts and the Board of Registration and Elections sue the federal government over the seizure, seeking the return of the ballots. The documents, which include the affidavit for the search warrant, could provide new details into the government's interest in obtaining the ballots. The FBI raid has been a subject of controversy, with former President Donald Trump and his allies vehemently denying his loss in the 2020 election to former President Joe Biden. Trump has recently been calling for a federal takeover of elections, which has raised concerns among some Democrats, including Virginia Senator Mark Warner, who warns of potential meddling in the 2026 midterm elections. The appearance of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard at the raid has also added to the speculation, with some denouncing her presence. The documents, which must be unsealed by Tuesday, could shed light on the government's interest in the ballots and the potential implications for future elections.
