A Georgia judge will allow absentee ballets from the 2020 election to be unsealed to have them examined for possible fraud.

In granting the motion on Friday, Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero agreed to open 145,000 absentee ballots from Fulton County as part of an audit into the 2020 election, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The review of ballots can't change the results of the 2020 election, but plaintiffs who requested the review say it could help them understand what they claim is suspicious activity at an Atlanta ballot-counting site.

An investigation by the Georgia secretary of state's office last year found no evidence of fraud in the state's ballot counting. President Trump and his allies claimed widespread fraud after his election loss in the state in the 2020 election.
