If you’re trying to make sense of the FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office in Atlanta and the seizure of 2020 ballots, it’s not about the 2020 election. It’s about this year’s midterms and 2028.
The 2020 ballots have been counted three times. Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in Georgia. Everyone in Georgia knows about Trump’s calls to the state’s Republican leaders, ordering them to find the votes to make him the winner. He was rebuffed by the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and secretary of state.
However, the State Election Board, which is allied with Trump, is seeking to take over elections in Fulton County, which is overwhelmingly Democratic. Just about everyone here believes the raid was staged to find a pretext for declaring that the Fulton County election office is “underperforming,” so that Trump loyalists can decide which ballots are counted.
An interesting detail: The head of the FBI’s office in Atlanta, Paul W. Brown, apparently left the agency shortly before the raid, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
