Two workers in Fulton County, Georgia have been fired after they were accused of shredding hundreds of voter registration applications, spurring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to call for a U.S. Department of Justice investigation.<\/p>\n

“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\u2019s failures.”<\/p>\n

The two unidentified employees are accused of shredding batches of applications the county received instead of properly processing them, according to a release from Fulton County Registration and Elections Director Richard Barron.<\/p>\n

The allegations come just three weeks before Fulton County residents are set to vote in municipal elections, with all of the shredded applications being received in the last two weeks.<\/p>\n

The two workers were reported by fellow employees Friday and were terminated later that day.<\/p>\n

“Elections are the most important function of our government,” Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts said in the release. “We have committed to transparency and integrity.”<\/p>\n

In addition to the calls for a federal investigation, Raffensperger said the secretary of state’s office has also already launched an investigation into the incident.<\/p>\n

The secretary of state added that the review “could lead to a replacement of the leadership of Fulton County’s elections” under Georgia’s new election integrity law.<\/p>\n

Those who believe their registration may have been impacted by the incident and are not registered on election day will be allowed to cast a provisional ballot while the investigation attempts to determined which voters were affected.<\/p>\n
