Excerpt:

ATLANTA — Four Democrats in Georgia's congressional delegation sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday protesting the agency's demand for personal information about Fulton County workers and volunteers involved with the 2020 election when President Donald Trump was defeated by Joe Biden.

"Fulton County election workers have already endured years of threats and harassment from false claims about the 2020 election," said the letter to Todd Blanche, the acting U.S. attorney general. "The Department's subpoena risks compounding that harm by demanding the residential addresses and personal contact information of thousands of people who served in election administration."
