Judge rejects DOJ attempt torejects DOJ attempt to get names of 2020 election workers in Fulton County
A federal judge rejected the Department of Justice's request to obtain the names of 2020 election workers in Fulton County, Georgia on July 7, 2026.
The judge ruled the request would create a pathway to interview individuals who worked at the polls and may have seen irregularities, while prosecutors argued the information was needed for their investigation; this decision blocks a key step in a high-stakes criminal case about alleged ballot tampering in the 2020 presidential election.
- Fulton County contains Atlanta, making it the most populous county in Georgia.
- The 2020 election saw a record 158 million votes cast nationwide in the United States.
- Georgia's 2020 election audit was one of the first statewide reviews of ballot accuracy in the U.S. after the pandemic.
