The FBI seized ballots and election materials in Georgia and, most recently, Arizona as part of the Justice Department's examination of Trump's claims about the 2020 election.
Notes on verification
Verbatim AP reporting corroborated by multiple independent outlets (PBS, NPR, NBC, CNN, CNBC, ProPublica, Votebeat, Brennan Center). Minor nuance: Arizona action was a subpoena for audit records rather than a physical raid, but this is a loose characterization rather than a factual error.
