Judge rejects Justice Department attempt to get names of 2020 election workers in Fulton County
Judge William Ray said the disclosure was too burdensome and unreasonable after the Justice Department sought contact details for 2020 election workers.
- A federal judge blocked a Trump administration attempt to obtain the identities of 2020 election workers in Georgia's Fulton County on Tuesday, striking down a Department of Justice demand.
- U.S. District Judge William Ray quashed the grand jury subpoena, calling the Justice Department's request for the home addresses, emails, and phone numbers of thousands of county employees and volunteer poll workers "staggering" and "unreasonable."
- The subpoena was part of an ongoing DOJ investigation into 2020 election "irregularities"—which followed a separate federal raid in January where the FBI seized hundreds of boxes of 2020 ballots from the Fulton County election hub.
- Fulton County attorneys fought the demand as a politically motivated "fishing expedition," arguing the effort was designed to target and harass political opponents and warning it would severely chill future poll worker participation.
- Judge Ray, a Trump nominee, ruled that the demand lacked judicial purpose, noting that even if the DOJ found individuals to support the claim that the 2020 election was unfair, the information would not lead to any viable, chargeable criminal offenses.
