Last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice executed a search warrant on the Fulton County Elections and Operations Hub, seizing over 650 boxes of election records from the 2020 election.
The Gateway Pundit reported on the claims that led to the search, including missing ballot images (as admitted by Fulton County in the federal caseCurling v. Raffensperger),missing tabulator opening tapes and unsigned closing tapes for all advance in-person voting locations, and numerous other issues.
Here’s What We Know Regarding Recent Developments in Fulton County Regarding the 2020 Election
Now, The Gateway Pundit has learned that the Fulton County Board of Commissioners [BOC] Chairman, Robert Pitts, the Fulton County Board of Registrations and Elections [BRE], as well as Fulton County itself, have sued the federal government in hopes of retaining those election records seized by the FBI.
The basis of the lawsuit (below) is Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 41(g), which regulates "unlawful search and seizure of property" and provides a means for returning said property.
However, according to a letter sent to Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr by BRE member Julie Adams, several problems exist within the filing.
This article will deal with those issues rather than the substance of the lawsuit itself. The substance will be covered in a following article.
The BRE never voted to authorize this litigation. "The BRE had not met. The BRE had not voted. The BRE was not aware [that] they were plaintiffs on a federal lawsuit," Adams wrote to Carr.
More than three hours after the announcement of the lawsuit, the BRE Chair attempted to hold a vote by email, "even though the Open Meetings Act specifically forbids this practice," the letter states.
"I responded that I didnotsupport litigation and noted violations of the Open Meetings Act," Adams wrote. This particular act allegedly violated O.C.G.A. § 50-14-1(b)(1) and § 50-14-3(b).
