LWV, LWV Georgia, and LWV Atlanta-Fulton County Joint Statement on FBI Activity at Fulton County Elections Facility

January 30, 2026

ATLANTA AND WASHINGTON, DC — The League of Women Voters of the United States, League of Women Voters of Georgia, and League of Women Voters of Atlanta-Fulton County issued the following statement regarding recent Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) activity in Fulton County:

“What we are witnessing is an egregious and unprecedented federal intervention into a certified election. We are deeply concerned about the FBI activity in Fulton County that began on January 28, 2026. The situation is unsettling, but let’s be clear: Georgia’s elections are secure, and the 2020 election results are final. Federal actions—no matter how disruptive—do not override established law or alter settled outcomes. 

“This federal overreach, authorized by US Attorney General Pam Bondi, is not only concerning but also sows distrust in our elections. The League of Women Voters must fight against any effort to spread election mis- or disinformation, including by our own federal government. Every voter has the fundamental right to cast a secure ballot free from intimidation and undue influence, and the League will not waver in defending that right. 

“The League of Women Voters fully supports Fulton County election officials as they carry out lawful election administration and act within their authority to safeguard the integrity, security, and transparency of election operations in accordance with state and federal law.”
