Federal Judge Rejects DOJ Subpoena Seeking Names of Election Workers in Fulton County from the 2020 Election

HeadlineJul 13, 2026

In election news, a federal judge in Atlanta has rejected the Justice Department’s subpoena seeking the names of election workers in Fulton County, Georgia, from the 2020 election. Judge William Ray wrote in his order, “Such a large disclosure of information threatens to chill participation in future elections, which will surely impact Fulton County.” President Trump continues to repeat the false claim that he won the state of Georgia in the 2020 election, accusing Fulton County officials of so-called ballot fraud. It comes as President Trump is pushing Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and identification at the polls. Meanwhile, in Texas, the state’s Attorney General Ken Paxton has reportedly listed an address where he did not reside, while voting in several elections during the last two years. This comes as Paxton has warned voters about misrepresenting their residence on election records.
