Last September, The Gateway Pundit was the first to report on a new subpoena issued by the Georgia State Election Board to Fulton County for the physical paper ballots, ballot envelopes, and ballot stubs that are under a preservation order while litigation is pending. This subpoena was an addition to the one issued in November 2024 and represents another effort for accountability in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Peach State.
Georgia State Election Board Votes to Subpoena 2020 Election Physical Ballots, Envelopes, and Stubs From Fulton County
The Gateway Pundit also reported in the beginning of September that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene submitted a formal request to the Department of Justice to investigate the 2020 Election in Georgia, specifically in Fulton County and in regards to SEB Complaint 2023-025.
This request from the Georgia congresswoman was in addition to a request by Associate Deputy Attorney General Ed Martin’s letter to Judge Robert McBurney to “access the approximately 148,000 absentee ballots and envelopes” at the Fulton County warehouse.
And now, in addition to the Georgia State Election Board, Rep. Greene, and the DOJ’s Ed Martin, Assistant Attorney General of the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon has issued yet another letter requesting access to the coveted 2020 election evidence.
In a recently published letter, Dhillon writes:
“The Civil Rights Division sends this request…to ensure all citizens’ voting rights have been and are protected in all elections. Title III of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 empowers the Attorney General to request preserved election records…
The purpose of this request is to ascertain Georgia’s compliance with various provisions of the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act including, without limitation, compliance with provisions relating to election technology and administration standards…
Transparency appears to have been frustrated at multiple turns in Georgia. The State Election Board has cited “unexplained anomalies in vote tabulation and storage related to the 2020 election” in a letter to you dated November 7, 2024. The Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division has also been made aware…of multiple instances of government obstruction of transparency requests, including high-resolution ballot scans, signature verification documentation, and various metadata requests. (emphasis added)
Notably, the letter ends by saying “the requested information may be sent by encrypted email…or via the Department’s secure file-sharing system….” However, the crux of the State Election Board’s subpoenas and its request for DOJ intervention specifically refers to the physical paper ballots. The reason for this is that evidence of manipulation of the scanned images has been discovered through open records requests.
The letter gives 15 days for a response, which appears to represent the first time the DOJ has issued a deadline for a response regarding an investigation specifically into the 2020 election.
Further, it was revealed at the Def Con Voter Village in 2019 that software can be manipulated to change hand-markings on scanned images faster than the scanner can save and store the images.

In addition to all of the attempts at accountability and transparency cited above, VoterGA has been waiting more than 1,000 days for its case to unseal the physical paper ballots for inspection to be heard in the local courts since the Georgia Supreme Court sent the case back in December 2022.
Over the weekend, Steve Bannon called out the Department of Justice for playing “by their rules,” referring to Georgia and Fulton County officials. “If the Trump Revolution shows you anything, it’s to hell with their rules!”
