Who knows?
Fulton County is the state's most populous county.
It is a heavily Democratic county.
It is a place where there is not a lot of support for Donald Trump and his policies on a good day.
But with the case of this election, there were people who just could not fathom the idea that a Democratic city and a Democratic county voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.
In the last five years, I have tracked so many different storylines and claims and allegations about what happened in Fulton County.
There have been more than 60 court cases in states like Georgia and across the country that found no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
There were claims made, claims investigated, claims put to rest that have festered and continue to grow.
And now,
In the midterm election year, a major priority of the administration is fanning the flames of those conspiracies, telling people that they shouldn't trust the election results from before.
And the last time that happened in 2022 in the midterms, a lot of his supporters stayed home.
I don't know if that's going to be the case this time, but it is notable with everything else going on.
You know, Trump went to Iowa earlier this week to talk about the economy.
Now we're talking about ballots.
OK, talk soon.
Well, the FBI now has about 650-ish boxes worth of stuff from Fulton County's 2020 election.
Earlier this week, there was a judge who signed off on a search warrant that asked for all the ballots, tabulator tapes, the scanned images of the ballots, and all copies of voter rolls from that election.
So, several trucks came in to take them away late Wednesday night, and I live in Fulton County, I voted here in 2020, so they have my ballot, Steve.
And the Republican-led state election board took the county to court last year trying to access these ballots and records.
While that was playing out, the Department of Justice also sued over these records.
