A federal judge has rejected a U.S. Department of Justice subpoena seeking the names and personal contact information of all individuals who worked during the 2020 election in Georgia's Fulton County. The ruling came after Fulton County officials requested the court to quash the subpoena, arguing it was overly broad and intended to target political opponents.
The county argued the request was a politically motivated attempt to “target, harass and punish the President’s perceived political opponents,” characterizing the scope of the subpoena as “grossly overbroad and untethered.” The Justice Department sought access to the personal information of every election worker, a demand the judge deemed unreasonable.
The Washington Times reported that the ruling prevents the department from obtaining this data. PBS Newshour similarly detailed the judge’s rejection of the subpoena, emphasizing the county's claim of political targeting.
No right-leaning sources beyond The Washington Times covered this story. This decision leaves open the question of what further action, if any, the Justice Department will take to obtain information related to the 2020 election in Fulton County.
