U.S. District Judge William M. Ray II (who was appointed by Donald Trump) officially quashed a grand jury subpoena, stopping the Department of Justice's attempt to force Fulton County, Georgia to turn over the personal contact details of thousands of its 2020 election workers.

Judge Ray issued a 28-page order siding with Fulton County's motion to dismiss the subpoena, determining that the federal government's invasive request was legally unjustified.

  • "Staggering" Scope: The subpoena demanded names, home addresses, personal phone numbers, and emails for nearly all county employees, contractors, and volunteers who managed the 2020 ballot process.
  • "Arbitrary Fishing Expedition": The court ruled that the DOJ lacked a legitimate law enforcement purpose or strong enough investigative need to override the privacy of private citizens.
  • Expired Deadlines: Judge Ray noted that the statute of limitations for any potential criminal offenses tied to the 2020 election has long expired, making a viable indictment legally impossible.
  • Future Voter Chilling: The judge emphasized that compromising worker privacy right before the November midterm elections would severely damage Fulton County's ability to recruit future volunteers.
