I am writing to urge immediate congressional action regarding the recent FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office in Georgia, which appears connected to the 2020 presidential election. This alarming development threatens the integrity of our democratic processes and demands swift investigation and accountability measures. The raid on election infrastructure raises serious questions about potential interference with election records and the security of voting materials. Fulton County played a critical role in Georgia's 2020 election results, and any compromise of its election office undermines public confidence in our electoral system. When federal law enforcement conducts operations at local election offices, particularly those connected to contested election results, Congress must exercise its oversight authority to determine what occurred and why. This incident follows a pattern of attacks on election administration that has already strained our democratic institutions. Election workers across the country have faced unprecedented harassment and threats, and raids on election offices further destabilize the infrastructure we depend on for free and fair elections. If election records were seized or compromised, this could facilitate efforts to manipulate future election outcomes or cast doubt on legitimate results. I am requesting that you take the following actions: call for immediate congressional hearings to investigate the circumstances and legal basis for this raid, demand full transparency about what materials were seized and how they will be secured, and support legislation to protect election infrastructure from unauthorized interference. Additionally, I urge you to consider whether this incident warrants impeachment proceedings or other accountability measures for officials who may have authorized or encouraged actions that threaten election integrity. Our democracy cannot function when election offices become targets for raids and interference. I expect you to use every tool at your disposal to investigate this matter and protect the integrity of our elections.
