Fulton County Commissioner Mo Ivory confirmed a warrant was being served and said federal officials were collecting 700 boxes of ballots from a secure location.
The Trump administration separately began a lawsuit last month to get hold of Fulton County’s 2020 ballots.
Democratic-leaning Fulton County is home to Atlanta, Georgia’s biggest city, and backed Biden by a wide margin in the 2020 election.
Trump unsuccessfully sought to overturn the 2020 election result, pressuring Georgia’s top election official to “find” votes that would allow him to claim victory.
