: A federal judge has blocked the U.S. Department of Justice from obtaining the names and personal contact information of everyone who worked the 2020 election in Fulton County.
The judge ruled the request was too broad and said the government's need for the information did not outweigh the burden of releasing it. The DOJ argued it was part of an ongoing investigation, while Fulton County said the subpoena could discourage people from serving as election workers in the future.
