Atlanta, Georgia — A conservative election researcher whose fraud claims have repeatedly been rejected by Georgia election officials has emerged as a central figure in the federal investigation that led the FBI to seize 2020 election records from Fulton County earlier this year.
Kevin Moncla, who has long argued that Fulton County’s 2020 election was tainted by fraud, confirmed to ProPublica that he was interviewed by federal investigators and provided data supporting complaints he filed with Georgia’s State Election Board. Many of those complaints were later dismissed following investigations by Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, which found no evidence that alleged irregularities affected election outcomes.
Despite those findings, Moncla’s work has continued to circulate among election denial activists and has been cited by President Donald Trump and allies connected to attorney Cleta Mitchell, who has pushed for renewed scrutiny of the county’s voting systems. Activists associated with Mitchell’s Election Integrity Network claimed in a recorded call that Moncla’s materials helped inform a Justice Department lawsuit seeking access to the same records later seized by the FBI.
Fulton County officials have since sued to unseal the affidavit used to justify the search warrant, arguing that debunked theories were used to establish probable cause. A federal judge has ordered the affidavit unsealed.
Legal experts warned that reliance on discredited claims could raise serious questions about the legitimacy of the raid.
