Democrats have called Georgia's 2020 election results bulletproof for six years.
The FBI just sent 260 agents nationwide to test that claim for themselves.
What agents are finding buried in Fulton County's vault has the deadline racing faster than anyone expected.
FBI Orders Nationwide Surge Into Six Year Old Georgia Ballots
FBI Director Kash Patel ordered field offices across the country to surge 260 investigative analysts and staff operations specialists into the Fulton County, Georgia election investigation.
An internal memo calls it a "priority investigation."
Each analyst must run a check on about 708 records before the July 17 deadline.
Patel has authorized weekend and holiday overtime to hit that deadline.
The move builds on a January 28 raid at the Fulton County Election Hub in Union City.
Agents hauled away more than 600 boxes that day.
Physical ballots.
Ballot images.
Voter rolls.
Tabulator tapes from every voting machine in the county.
Patel later addressed the seizure directly in a Fox News interview, standing behind the search as legally sound.
Fulton County was the epicenter of Trump's fight over the 2020 results.
Fulton County anchors Atlanta and holds more registered voters than any other county in Georgia.
Biden carried the state by fewer than 12,000 votes.
Trump has said for six years that number does not reflect what actually happened on the ground.
Now the agency with the manpower to check is finally doing it.
Fulton County Democrats Call the Investigation a Hail Mary
Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts was not happy when he learned analysts were being surged into the case.
He said he was not informed of the move before it happened.
Pitts dismissed the entire effort as a "Hail Mary."
That is a strange way to describe a federal law enforcement agency reviewing physical ballots that Fulton County itself has been ordered to preserve under a judicial seal.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger struck a softer tone.
He insists Georgia runs some of the best administered elections in the country.
Yet Raffensperger still agreed to help federal agents dig through the very files he claims already prove him right.
Fulton County has assembled a legal team to fight the federal review.
Democrats in Washington have started demanding investigations into the investigators.
Nobody in Fulton County is demanding a look at the ballots themselves.
Ask yourself why.
Analysis
Six years of certified results and audits were supposed to settle Fulton County for good.
It reopened in January when agents pulled hundreds of boxes of original ballots and voter rolls out of a warehouse that Fulton County had been legally required to keep sealed since 2020.
Now 260 analysts are putting their own eyes on that material instead of taking anyone's summary at face value.
For months, Fulton County's leadership has fought to keep federal investigators away from the raw boxes instead of opening the doors and inviting a full public accounting.
That is not how people behave when they are confident about what is inside those boxes.
Georgians deserve a straight answer about what happened to their votes in 2020, and for the first time since the election, the people with subpoena power and 260 analysts are the ones going to look for it themselves.
