A quiet storm was brewing in Georgia last September, one that threatened to unearth long-held questions about the 2020 Presidential Election. The Georgia State Election Board issued a new, critical subpoena – a demand for the physical paper ballots, the delicate envelopes that carried those votes, and the accompanying stubs, all currently under a preservation order due to ongoing legal battles.
This wasn’t a standalone action. It built upon a previous subpoena issued months earlier, in November 2024, signaling a sustained and escalating push for accountability within Fulton County. The board’s actions suggested a determination to meticulously examine the foundational evidence of the election’s outcome.
The subpoena focused specifically on the tangible records of the vote – the actual ballots themselves. This wasn’t about recounts or audits of digital data; it was about a direct examination of the physical artifacts that represented each citizen’s voice in the election. The implications were significant, hinting at a deeper investigation into potential discrepancies.
With the ballots, envelopes, and stubs secured under a preservation order, the stage was set for a potentially revealing scrutiny. The Election Board’s move represented a pivotal moment, a determined effort to address lingering doubts and ensure the integrity of the electoral process in the Peach State.
