… President Trump has made mail voting a first order problem, not an afterthought. He has directed states to stop accepting mail in ballots as a matter of ordinary practice, and he has assigned Edward R. Martin, Jr., Associate Deputy Attorney General, to lead a federal inquiry into the integrity risks that mail ballots present. Martin’s initial focus is Fulton County, Georgia, where roughly 148,000 absentee ballots from 2020 still sit under seal in a county warehouse. A federal grand jury has been empanelled. Witnesses have been called. And, crucially, Martin has notified Judge Robert C. I. McBurney that the Department of Justice seeks access to the ballots and the corresponding envelopes now in the custody of Fulton County Clerk of Court, Ché Alexander. The signal is clear. Transparency cannot be outsourced to press releases. It must be tested against the paper itself.Isn’t something that it’s been five years and we still haven’t seen the Fulton County ballots yet.
