U.S. Department of Justice last month demanded the names and contact information for every election worker in Fulton County, Georgia, involved in the 2020 election, according to court filings disclosed this week. The Justice Department is seeking the names and contact information of election workers in Fulton County who worked during the 2020 presidential election, legal filings show.
Fulton County's election board filed a motion to quash a DOJ subpoena. The county is trying to fend off the subpoena from a federal prosecutor.
U.S. Attorney of North Carolina’s middle district, The Guardian reported. It demands Fulton County provide rosters of election staff members who served in the November 2020 election. The subpoena specifically demands identification of those election staff members by name, position, residential and email address, and personal telephone number.
The demand by the Department of Justice occurred last month relative to the current date. Court filings disclosing the demand were revealed this week. Fulton County is pushing back on the DOJ effort to obtain the election workers' names.
The Justice Department again appears to be using investigative power to address matters related to the 2020 election, according to details in the filings. The subpoena targets thousands of poll workers from that election, as described in reports of the legal action.
