DOJ Subpoena Blocked

U.S. District Judge William Ray II on July 7 quashed a Justice Department grand jury subpoena seeking the names and personal contact information of people who worked on Fulton County, Georgia’s 2020 election. The subpoena, obtained in April, covered county employees, volunteer poll workers and others involved in ballot review and counting. Ray said the request’s breadth was “staggering” and unreasonable. The ruling blocks prosecutors from obtaining the worker list as part of a federal inquiry into how the Atlanta-area county administered the election.
