However, now even Ravensburger can’t ignore the evidence any longer. In a tweet, Raffensberger called for Rick Barron, the Fulton elections director, and Ralph Jones, the registration chief, to immediately be fired for “continued failures.”
According to The Washington Examiner:
“Fulton County’s continued failures have gone on long enough with no accountability,” Raffensperger wrote in a tweet. “Rick Barron and Ralph Jones, Fulton’s registration chief, must be fired and removed from Fulton’s elections leadership immediately. Fulton’s voters and the people of Georgia deserve better.”
On Wednesday, the secretary of state urged Fulton to “clean their own house” after severe “mismanagement” issues.
“Every time we think we’ve reached the peak of Fulton’s elections mismanagement issues, more comes to light,” Raffensperger told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “I’ve been calling for change in Fulton since day one. Maintaining public confidence in our elections begins in Fulton County.”
“Now, with SB202, the State Election Board has the authority to make that happen,” he added. “If Fulton County doesn’t take action to clean their own house, then I reiterate my call that the State Election Board should use their new authority to clean it for them.”
