Two Georgia Election Workers Fired After Allegedly Shredding Hundreds of Voter Registration Applications
Two Fulton County, Georgia election workers were fired after allegations that they shredded hundreds of voter registration applications over the last couple of weeks.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has called for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate.
“After 20 years of documented failure in Fulton County elections, Georgians are tired of waiting to see what the next embarrassing revelation will be,” Raffensperger said in a press release Monday. “The Department of Justice needs to take a long look at what Fulton County is doing and how their leadership disenfranchises Fulton voters through incompetence and malfeasance. The voters of Georgia are sick of Fulton County’s failures.”
Raffensperger’s office has also launched their own investigation.
The allegations against the unnamed employees comes just three weeks before Fulton County’s municipal elections.
