The FBI seized hundreds of boxes containing 2020 election records from a warehouse in Fulton County, Georgia, in January. County Commissioner Dana Barrett viewed this as political theater rather than a criminal investigation, given the multiple prior investigations and recounts of ballots. The article highlights how supporters of the “Stop the Steal” movement have gained power, including positions on the State Election Board and within the White House, despite their baseless claims about election fraud being repeatedly debunked.

Story summary
In January 2023, the FBI seized hundreds of boxes containing 2020 election records from a warehouse in Fulton County, Georgia. County Commissioner Dana Barrett saw this as political theater rather than a criminal investigation, given that the results had already been investigated multiple times and the ballots recounted extensively. The "Stop the Steal" movement continues to assert false claims about the stolen election despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Prominent figures within this movement have gained significant power in key positions, such as on the State Election Board in Georgia and at the federal level where a lawyer previously sanctioned for making "unequivocally false" assertions now oversees election integrity efforts for the White House. These actions raise concerns about potential disruptions to electoral processes by individuals with unsubstantiated beliefs.
