Secretaries of state say audits and recounts already validated the 2020 election after an FBI search of a Fulton County, Georgia, elections office.

Fulton County confirmed the FBI executed a search warrant at its Elections Hub and Operations Center that sought "records related to 2020 elections."

Fulton County commissioner Mo Ivory said during the press conference the FBI was collecting 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 presidential election. “We are obviously concerned about once the ballots leave here, what will happen to the ballots, and our lawyers are going to be working on that,” Ivory said.

The FBI served a warrant Wednesday at an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, as it probes alleged voter fraud in the 2020 election.

The Trump administration has recently escalated its efforts to prove widespread voter fraud in 2020. Election officials and top Republicans have repeatedly said these claims are baseless.
