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

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.

Fulton County spokeswoman Jessica Corbitt said it is not immediately clear if the 300 voter registration applications being scrutinized were lost.

The reports of shredded ballots in Fulton County are the latest in a series of difficulties the county’s elections have faced in recent years, including long lines and inefficient reporting strategies, according to the AP.

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.”.
