FBI raids Georgia elections hub on referral from sanctioned 2020 denier Kurt Olsen

Court documents unsealed around February 10, 2026 revealed that the FBI seized 700 boxes of ballots and voter records from Fulton County Elections Hub on January 28, 2026, acting on a criminal referral from Kurt Olsen — Trump presidentially appointed Director of Election Security and Integrity. Olsen had previously been sanctioned by the Arizona Supreme Court for making false election fraud claims in the Kari Lake case. The affidavit contained debunked voter fraud claims, and only 23 days elapsed between Olsen referral and the raid.
