Newly unsealed search warrants in the California ballot seizure case paint a chilling picture of how the types of anti-voting conspiracy theories weaponized by the White House to investigate the 2020 presidential election can be used to target elections on a state and local level.

Search warrants show California ballot seizure echoed Fulton County election raid
The newly unsealed warrants also raise questions about why law enforcement officers were able to seize ballots unchecked by either the courts or the officials responsible for protecting them.
