A panel of appellate judges dismissed a case targeting provisions of Georgia's 2021 voting law related to state takeovers of county election boards and ballot photography.

ATLANTA — A federal appeals court has upheld parts of Georgia’s 2021 voting law that allow state takeovers of county election management and prohibit ballot photography.

The FBI would not clarify whether the action is tied to the 2020 election, but last month the Department of Justice announced it's suing Fulton County for records related to the election.

By Jana Winter WASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation is executing a search warrant at a Fulton County election office in Georgia related to the 2020 election, a law enforcement official familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.

FBI agents conducted a search on Wednesday at an election facility in Georgia in a raid reportedly linked to President Donald Trump's false claims of 2020 voter fraud.

Tulsi Gabbard is drawing criticism for her decision to accompany FBI agents on a search at an election center in Fulton County, Georgia.
