Georgia election workers fired, accused of shredding voting applications

4. Those weren't "ballot applications" they were "voter registration" applications

The Hill's "msm" version of the article is confusingly interspersing the terms "voter registration" with "ballot applications" (I know GA has "mail-in"/"absentee ballots" that have their own applications that would need to be requested).

Election workers accused of shredding voter applications

By KATE BRUMBACKyesterday


ATLANTA (AP) — Officials in Georgia’s most populous county, where election operations are already under review by the state, have fired two workers accused of shredding paper voter registration applications, according to a county statement released Monday.

Preliminary information indicates that the employees checked out batches of applications for processing, and they are alleged to have shredded some of the forms, the Fulton County statement says. Fellow employees reported the alleged actions to their supervisor Friday morning, and the two employees were fired that day.

The county statement says the applications were received in the past two weeks. Fulton County includes most of the city of Atlanta, where voters are set to go to the polls Nov. 2 to elect a mayor, City Council members and other municipal officials. The deadline to register to vote in that election was Oct. 4.

It’s not immediately clear whether the 300 voter registration records in question were lost, county spokeswoman Jessica Corbitt said. “Normally, processing a voter registration application involves entering them in the state system, updating them, verifying their information,” she said. “That is the matter that’s under investigation — was that process completed.”
