Donald Trump has always claimed he won Georgia in the 2020 election - which he lost.
The FBI has now seized the ballots, and commissioner Mo Ivory says she has "no confidence" they won't be tampered with so Trump finally gets the result he wants

Astonishing that, almost 14 years on from this failed judicial experiment being abolished, so many people are still greatly impacted by this cruel sentence. History will judge & future generations will be shocked at the callous indifference towards the IPP issue shown by many in authority.
