Following complaints and speculation about the shredding of documents at a vote-tabulation center in Cobb County, Georgia, officials issued a statement to allay fears, although GOP officials suggested that the move is suspect.

“There has been significant social media chatter about some document shredding at the Jim R. Miller Park Event Center in Marietta, Georgia where our Elections Department had previously conducted the state-ordered re-tally of votes in the November 3rd election,” the Cobb County Board of Election said in a statement. “The shredding company routinely responds to the Elections Department following an election to help remove non-relevant materials that cannot be easily disposed of.”
