What was said
… They need the line of defense that they will never give up is Fulton County, because inside the rat's nest that is Fulton County explains the entire thing, does it not, Garland Favretto? Well, absolutely, Steven. This is why they have hid those ballots for five years and violated Georgia open records request law multiple times.

Bannon`s War Room · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. NPR analysis reports that state investigators found only isolated examples of Fulton County workers violating rules and that the 2020 ballots were counted three separate times with results affirmed, undercutting the wrongdoing framing.[3]
Contradicts. Fulton County's own records portal describes its compliance with the Georgia Open Records Act, and the Favorito litigation shows Open Records claims against the county were dismissed, cutting against a finding of repeated violations.[1][4]
Supports. A DOJ complaint against Fulton County officials documents that election records retention obligations were litigated after an October 30, 2025 demand letter, showing a federal records dispute exists.[2]
Supports. The Favorito litigation included Open Records Act claims against Fulton County, indicating the open records dispute is real, though the court dismissed those claims as already adjudicated in a prior order.[4][5]
Context. The 2026 FBI seizure of ballots and Fulton's Rule 41(g) motion show the ballots were contested in litigation, but sources do not establish a five-year concealment by county officials; the 'five years' and 'multiple violations' framing comes from advocacy coverage (VoterGA press release) rather than independent records.[6][7]
