Applaud Fulton County for Defending Election Integrity

Fulton County, Georgia, is standing up for democracy — and it deserves our applause.

After federal agents seized sensitive 2020 election records from a local election hub, Fulton County leaders announced they will sue the Trump administration to challenge the legality of the search and protect voters’ information. The county is demanding the return of original ballots and voter rolls, raising serious concerns about overreach, chain of custody, and the safeguarding of election materials.

This action is about more than one county or one election. It’s about defending the principle that elections are administered transparently, lawfully, and without political intimidation. Fulton County officials are refusing to allow election infrastructure to be treated like a political weapon — especially in service of conspiracy theories that have already been debunked again and again.

By taking this fight to court, Fulton County is standing up for voter privacy, state and local election authority, and the rule of law. They’re sending a clear message: our democracy does not belong to any one president, agency, or political agenda.

Add your name to applaud Fulton County for protecting voters, defending election integrity, and standing firm against dangerous federal overreach.
