Judge denies Fulton County's request to return 2020 ballots seized by FBI
Judge J.P. Boulee said Fulton County did not show irreparable harm, and the Justice Department has given the county copies of the seized records.

- The ruling allows the FBI to continue its investigation into whether election records were improperly handled or if residents were defrauded, despite the statute of limitations potentially expiring.
