## Resource

A federal judge has blocked the DOJ’s attempt to subpoena names and contact info of all 2020 Fulton County election workers, calling the request “staggering” and politically motivated. The judge ruled the subpoena was overly broad, violated grand jury limits, and could harm future election staffing — a major win for election integrity advocates and Fulton County officials who argue the statute of limitations has passed and the info isn’t needed for legitimate enforcement. The decision underscores that grand juries aren’t tools for political targeting and reaffirms the importance of protecting those who run elections.
