SAVANNAH, Ga. () — The execution of a search warrant by FBI agents at the Fulton County election office has stirred reactions from lawmakers and political organizations across Georgia.

According to the Associated Press, the agents were on a mission to obtain ballots, tabulator tapes from ballot-scanning devices, electronic images of ballots, and voter registration lists.

U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA):

“After Donald Trump’s defeat in Georgia during the 2020 election, he urged state officials to ‘discover’ votes to alter the outcome, attempted to enlist the Department of Justice to overturn the results, and propagated conspiracy theories that ultimately fueled the January 6th assault on the U.S. Capitol. 

I believe today’s search is part of this ongoing campaign by a disgruntled loser, despite numerous audits and independent assessments confirming Donald Trump’s defeat.” 

From Minnesota to Georgia, on display to the whole world is a President spiraling out of control, wielding federal law enforcement as an unaccountable instrument of personal power and revenge.”

U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA):

“The FBI should be focused on going after violent criminals, not carrying out political errands for a vengeful President. Republicans and Democrats agree: the 2020 elections were accurate and secure. End of story.”

Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Buddy Carter (R-1):

“Georgians are about to get some long-overdue answers and learn just how right President Trump was in 2020.”

Congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Mike Collins (R-10) said in reference to FBI Director Kash Patel:

“Go get ‘em, Kash.”

Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Charlie Bailey:

“Every Georgian should be alarmed that Donald Trump is wielding federal law enforcement to push his baseless, dangerous lies about winning the 2020 election. 

Georgians are watching Trump’s increasingly manic governance, including this latest overreach, with deep concern — but we will not be intimidated by a fragile bully who has been proven wrong by independent reviews time and again.”

The Carter Center:

“The Carter Center is deeply concerned by news that agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation are executing a search of Fulton County election facilities. Such an action by the FBI has no recent precedent in American election. This appears to be yet another attempt to sow doubt in election integrity and undermine voter confidence during a consequential election year.

In 2020, amid a global pandemic, millions of Georgians cast their ballots. Since then, their votes have been counted and recounted. The results of the election have been extensively litigated and repeatedly upheld in court. Now, more than five years later, Georgians and Americans everywhere are ready to move on.”

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office did not respond to ’s request for a statement. also contacted U.S. Senate candidate and former football coach Derek Dooley but did not receive a response.
