The Justice Department has sued Fulton County, Georgia, seeking access to ballots and other election materials from the 2020 presidential race, escalating the Trump administration’s renewed effort to scrutinize an election President Donald Trump lost to former President Joe Biden.

In a lawsuit filed Friday, the department said it needs the records to investigate Fulton County’s “compliance with federal election law.” The suit demands that county election officials turn over “all used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election.”
