Plantiff in Case That Destroyed Voting Rights Act Exposed as Jan. 6er
The subpoena, issued April 17 but disclosed in court Monday, requires the board’s records custodian to appear in federal court Tuesday with the full list of election workers, including the names, home addresses, email addresses and home phone numbers of everyone involved in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia’s most populous county.
County attorneys say it goes too far and could include nearly 3,000 county employees, temporary poll workers and volunteers. Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts said The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the purpose of the subpoena is “to intimidate workers in our county, to discourage people from voting,” adding that the county would fight back with “every resource possible.”
