Judge rejects Justice Department attempt to get names of 2020 election workers in Fulton County

A federal judge has ruled that the U.S. Department of Justice cannot have access to personal information for every person who worked during the 2020 election in Georgia’s Fulton County. The Justice Department in April served a grand jury subpoena seeking the names and personal contact information of county employees and volunteer poll workers. The county argued the subpoena was overly broad and meant to target and harass President Donald Trump’s opponents. In his ruling Tuesday, U.S. District Judge William Ray called the subpoena “unreasonable.”
