Judge Blocks DOJ Request in Georgia Election Case
2 weeks ago
A federal judge has blocked the Justice Department from obtaining the names and personal contact information of thousands of election workers who helped administer the 2020 election in Georgia's Fulton County.
The ruling found the federal grand jury subpoena seeking the records was "unreasonable." County officials argued the request was overly broad and said it could expose election employees and volunteer poll workers to harassment.
The Justice Department sought the information as part of an ongoing federal investigation.
