[Daily Signal] Officials from Fulton County, Georgia, wanted to quash a subpoena from the Georgia State Board of Elections because providing "approximately 750 boxes" of material would be too burdensome. Yet, when the FBI came knocking in a Jan. 28 raid, federal agents left with 656 boxes (653 by one count), prompting a top Georgia election official to wonder about the gap in the number.
"That’s almost 100 boxes of evidence," Janice Johnston, vice chair of the Georgia State Election Board, told The Daily Signal.
She referenced one county affidavit that only estimated "over 700 boxes" at the county elections hub. She said, "Even 50 [extra] boxes would be a lot of evidence."
In a post on X, Johnston posed the questions, "WHERE ARE 100 BOXES OF ELECTION DOCUMENTS?!! ... WHO HAS THE BOXES?!!"
A rough estimate does not excuse such a large numerical disparity in an affidavit or court filings, Johnston said.
The State Election Board has since made a records request to the Fulton County Board of Elections to provide information about materials delivered or removed from storage in the four weeks preceding the FBI raid.
"Fulton County is effectively the person of interest in this case," Johnston said. "We are not assured that everything was available."
The FBI seized materials from the 2020 election that included ballots, tabulator tapes, and ballot images from a recount, Georgia Public Broadcasting reported, citing court documents that supported the search warrant. About 370,000 ballot images are missing, Johnston noted.
