A county in Georgia on Tuesday voted to remove its elections director after struggles during the 2020 election.

The Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections voted 3-2 to remove Richard Barron, its elections director, a week after the board held a similar vote that was declared invalid because it occurred during a private part of a meeting.
