Fulton County celebrates court victory after judge quashes DOJ subpoena for 2020 election workers' personal data
Fulton County's legal team is celebrating a major courtroom victory after a federal judge blocked the U.S. Department of Justice from obtaining the personal information of thousands of election workers who helped administer Georgia's closely watched 2020 election.
In a statement released Tuesday, county officials praised the ruling, calling it an important victory for election workers and the integrity of Georgia's election system.
The decision stems from the Justice Department's effort to enforce a grand jury subpoena seeking personal information tied to Fulton County election workers. The county challenged the request, arguing it was overly broad, unnecessary and risked exposing workers who have already faced years of threats and harassment following the 2020 presidential election.
A federal judge ultimately agreed.
