Cleta Mitchell 'Praying' DOJ Seizes Georgia Ballots in Probe of Debunked 2020 Election Claims [View all]

Far-right lawyer and anti-voting activist Cleta Mitchel is cheering on President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) as it probes debunked allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 election in Georgia.

“[DOJ Civil Rights Division chief Harmeet Dhillon] has served notice she is coming for the Fulton County ballots,” Mitchell posted on X Thursday. “Praying it happens today. DOJ must act to protect the voters of GA.”

In July, Georgia’s GOP- controlled elections board passed a resolution calling on state authorities to ask the department for assistance in probing 2020 voter fraud claims in Fulton County. In October, DOJ demanded Fulton election officials to hand over records related to the 2020 election.

That same month, Ed Martin — DOJ’s pardon attorney and head of the department’s vague weaponization task force — acknowledged on social media that the department was looking into claims of voter fraud in Fulton County, the state’s largest county. In August, Martin allegedly sent a letter to a Fulton County judge demanding to “immediately access” 148,000 absentee ballots being stored in a ballot warehouse.
