'FBI raided former Trump campaign manager Manafort's home in July'

<http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia-manafort-idUSKBN1AP1OR>

'FBI agents seized documents and other material from the Virginia home
of Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager,
during a July raid as part of a special counsel's probe into alleged
Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, a spokesman for
Manafort said on Wednesday.

Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni confirmed that the raid, first reported
by the Washington Post report, had taken place.

The predawn raid was conducted at Manafort's home in the Washington
suburb of Alexandria without advance warning on July 26, a day after
Manafort had met with staff members of the Senate Intelligence
Committee, the Post said, citing unidentified people familiar with the
probe.'

In particular, this:

'Mueller’s use of a search warrant tells us that he was able to
establish on the basis of evidence, and to the satisfaction of a United
States Magistrate-Judge, that there was probable cause to believe that
evidence of a specific crime or crimes existed in the location to be
searched. That standard is significantly higher than what is required to
obtain a grand jury subpoena, which can be used to obtain any evidence
that a grand jury (under the direction of a prosecutor) decides will be
helpful to their investigation.'

Shouldn't there be another election if the 2016 election is shown to have been fraudulent?
