U.S. District Judge, Middle District of Georgia - Dismissed DOJ voter data lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds
About a week after FBI agents seized 700 boxes of 2020 election ballots from a Fulton County warehouse on January 28, 2026, the Georgia Senate passed a resolution on February 1 urging Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to comply with DOJ demands for unredacted voter data, despite his refusal citing state privacy laws. The seizure—authorized by a federal magistrate judge—continues despite prior court rejections of fraud claims, with FBI Director Kash Patel defending the probable cause and revealing President Trump personally thanked agents via speakerphone arranged by DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Senior U.S. District Judge, Middle District of Georgia - Dismissed Georgia case on venue grounds
The Justice Department wants every state's unredacted voter file—names, addresses, dates of birth, driver's license numbers, and partial Social Security numbers for roughly 160 million registered voters. Since May 2025, DOJ has demanded these records from at least 44 states. Twenty-five jurisdictions refused and are now being sued. In late January 2026, Attorney General Pam Bondi escalated tactics by conditioning the removal of ICE and CBP agents from Minneapolis on Minnesota providing voter rolls and welfare data, drawing accusations of coercion from state officials and Senate Democrats.
