Officials Say Ballots Safe After Alarm At Fulton County Elections Warehouse

An alarm linked to a motion sensor inside a warehouse in Atlanta where ballots from last year’s election are stored went off over the weekend, but the ballots remained secure, officials said Tuesday.

The alarm at the Fulton County elections warehouse went off Saturday, and county Sheriff Patrick Labat said his office is investigating what triggered the motion sensor on the second floor.

Answering questions from reporters during a news conference, Labat said he “absolutely would” call it a false alarm.
