Union City, GA – In a surprising shake up on Wednesday, the FBI executed a search warrant at the Fulton County elections warehouse at 5600 Campbellton Fairburn Road in Union City, Georgia. They reportedly seized approximately 700 boxes of election materials associated with the 2020 General Election.

GRA-member Salleigh Grubbs appeared on the scene with fellow Georgia State Board of Elections member Dr. Janice Johnston to observe the investigation, but were denied access by Fulton officials.

“We are very thankful to see the FBI here,” said Salleigh Grubbs. “They’ve had a forklift going in and out and now they have brought in what appears to be a mobile command center for the FBI.” 

“All we want is fair elections,” said Grubbs. “That’s all we are asking for. This is a non-partisan issue. This is about free and fair elections in the United States of America.”

The warehouse containing the election records is massive, roughly 600,000 square feet.

“The best I know, the documents are contained in about 700 boxes,” said Dr. Johnston. “We have no other choice than to recommend that all 700 boxes be removed and taken out of the hands of Fulton County so that we can look for the documents that we’ve been looking for for years and have been unable to get Fulton County to provide or produce or even try to find.”

Johnston has requested a subpoena from Fulton County for the records back in October 2024, a request that has been met with repeated obstruction until now.

“We are looking for those tabulator tapes, we are looking for numbered voter lists, we would like to know who was eligible to vote for the 2020 election. We are looking for documents to prove that actual ballot boxes – that they claimed produced thousands of votes – were actually real ballot boxes,” said Johnston.

“The whole purpose of this is to look for areas of inconsistency and irregularities, to understand what happened, if it did happen, so it will not happen in future elections. That is the point of the State Election Board’s investigation and participation in this.”

GRA Election Integrity Action Group Chairman Jason Frazier, who recently produced a viral video exposing thousands of voter irregularities in Fulton county, was also at the scene along with Garland Favorito of VoterGA, who sued Fulton County back in 2021 and has long-awaited this day.

“We just want clean voter rolls, clean elections, and whoever wins wins,” said Frazier. “They don’t want us to see the ballots, they don’t want us to see the ballot envelopes, they don’t want us to see who voted, they don’t want us to see the voter rolls: they don’t want us to see anything!”

The lack of cooperation from Fulton officials has only heightened suspicions. If everything was fair and honest, why not allow an inspection of the ballots? What do they have to hide?

This is a huge victory for the dedicated grass-roots volunteer citizens across Georgia who have been calling for election integrity reform in the state, including Garland Favorito, Jason Frazier, and Phillip Davis and many others.

On Thursday, State Senator Greg Dolezal (R-Forsyth) took to the well of the Senate to address this shocking development. “Let’s stop this charade of ‘the most perfect, most secure election in history,'” he said. “It’s darn near past time for Fulton County to clean up their voter rolls!”

The DOJ sued Fulton County last month seeking access to ballots related to the 2020 election. The county is fighting the lawsuit, saying the DOJ has not made a valid argument for accessing them.

“Under Georgia law, ballots are typically destroyed after two years,” said GRA-member and former GA GOP Chairman David Shafer. Shafer was subjected to “law-fare” for years after the 2020 election as an alternate elector. “But thanks to a lawsuit filed by Garland Favorito, Caroline Jeffords and others, the Fulton County ballots from 2020 were preserved. It appears that we will finally get answers.”

Joseph Rossi and Kevin Moncla also deserve special appreciation due to their relentless contributions to the investigation. Under the Biden administration, the FBI persecuted Moncla in late 2023 for daring to question Georgia’s 2020 election. According to Moncla, “Fulton County unlawfully failed to preserve the ballot images for all in-person voting.” Despite Republicans being in power in Georgia, no one in the state would cooperate with Johnston’s subpoena so Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon with the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice sued for the same records on October 30, 2025.

“It’s a uni-party. The Republican establishment and the Democrat establishment work together,” said Garland Favarito.

The GRA exists to combat the uni-party, because RINO governance and public policy is equally as harmful to Georgia families as Democrat governance.

“We still have challenges in obtaining cooperation from the Secretary of State’s office,” said Dr. Johnston. 

Rossi’s presentation at the January 21, 2026 State Election Board meeting was eye-opening. His presentation cited longstanding discrepancies documented in the complaint and argued that unresolved issues from SEB2021-181 and subsequent investigations could undermine public confidence if left unexamined.

Notably, in spring 2022 Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger admitted Fulton County scanned ballots twice.

GRA members are delighted by this move on the part of federal investigators and are hopeful that the public will finally get answers to their lingering suspicions about what really happened in Fulton County in 2020.

GRA members are encouraged that their efforts have not been in vain. The many hours spent attending long meetings of the State Election Board, the election integrity rallies, the press conferences, the hours spent examining election processes and voter rolls, the GOP conventions that passed election integrity resolutions, the citizen advocacy at the Capitol – all of these efforts combined to create the public awareness of Georgia’s election integrity problems and finally attracted the attention of federal authorities who are willing to investigate.

We are no longer a small voice crying in the wilderness. Election integrity activists finally feel heard, and the vindication is sweet. GRA members continue to organize and collaborate together to bring about constructive reform to Georgia government, knowing that we are stronger together when like-minded patriots are connected across the state. We are indeed the “Republican wing of the Republican party” and we look forward to watching this investigation unfold.
