Brad Raffensperger Calls For Firing Fulton County Election Officials For Double-Counted Ballots After digital images of paperwork publicized by Georgia’s new voting law exposed the fact that almost 200 absentee ballots were double-counted in the state during the 2020 presidential election, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger demanded Thursday that two high-profile election officials in Fulton County, Georgia, be fired. “Fulton County’s continued failures have gone on long enough with no accountability,” Raffensperger said before placing the blame on Rick Barron, the Fulton elections director, and Ralph Jones, the registration chief. “Rick Barron and Ralph Jones, Fulton’s registration chief, must be fired and removed from Fulton’s elections leadership immediately,” he said.
