Georgia election workers fired, accused of shredding voting applications
The Hill ^ | 10/11/21 | Michael Schnell

Two Georgia election workers from the state’s most populous county were fired on Friday for allegedly shredding voting applications in the past two weeks.

Fulton County revealed in a statement on Monday that, according to a preliminary review, two employees may have checked out batches of applications for processing but allegedly shredded a portion of the forms instead of fully processing them.

According to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), 300 municipal election-related applications were allegedly destroyed.

Fellow employees reported the conduct to their supervisor on Friday morning, according to Fulton County. The two election workers were fired that day.

The illicit behavior reportedly occurred within the last two weeks, according to Fulton County Registration and Elections Director Richard Barron.

Fulton County is scheduled to hold elections to elect a mayor, City Council members and other municipal officials on Nov. 2, according to The Associated Press. The voter registration deadline for those races was Oct. 4.

Raffensperger, in response to the report that the election workers were fired for allegedly shredding applications, called on the Justice Department to investigate Fulton County elections. He said his office has already started a probe into the new allegations.

“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 statement.

I wonder if Ruby Freeman kept her old job of submitting illegal votes.

A distraction. Nothing will be done.

Dimocrats nationwide are counting on Fulton County comrades to cheat on their behalf.

Slap on the wrist. I’m sure they already had other employment arranged for them. Probably all for show.

They were fired, but why weren't they arrested and charged with crimes. Start the prosecution process. Or is there a reason they weren't charged with 300 counts of criminal behavior and civil rights crimes.

I hope I live long enough to see the day people actually go to jail for these types of crimes. I also think that the level of punishment needs to be so harsh that the grandchildren of the people jailed will still be afraid to tamper with elections.

Trump was right again Because this is exactly what he said in the phone call with the Georgia Secretary of State last year and people called Trump crazy

Just one more question. If they were ballot tampering, isn’t that a federal crime? Shouldn’t they be facing a trial with rather long prison sentances? If not, why not? - Lt. Columbo.

Expendable peons to give the "appearance" of doing something about the systemic fraud in Georgia. Particularly in the counties that encompass Atlanta (Fulton, DeKalb).

"They were fired, but why weren't they arrested and charged with crimes." - "Or is there a reason they weren't charged with 300 counts of criminal behavior and civil rights crimes."

I can see where the perps were assured, by those who hired them to cheat, that they would not be prosecuted if they were caught.. If prosecution were to happen then maybe they would rat out some those at the top, and THAT would be very bad for the democratic voting machine...

They shouldn’t be fired, they should be criminally prosecuted. Well, I guess they should *also* be fired, but where are the charges? What sounds appropriate is 300 felony counts for conspiracy to deny civil rights.

Additionally, Raffensperger forced Fulton County into a consent order after the 2020 election, which required that a state-appointed monitor supervise its elections practices, according to the secretary of state’s office.

That monitor, according to Raffensperger, did not find any fraud in the election but did point out “significant mismanagement issues in Fulton County’s elections processes.”


No, he found what was a complete loss of control sufficient to hide massive fraud, or fraud, and lacked the resources to differentiate between them. No one confessed to him.

Fired? At a minimum they need to be sitting in prison for a term no less than until after the end of the election cycle.

They need to be banned from ever volunteering or working for any election in the United States, volunteering or working for any political party, and prohibited from ever collecting a paycheck from a taxpayer funded job, included as a contractor paid by a government contract.

I wonder which parties forms they were shredding?
