ATLANTA (AP) Fulton County elections officials have signed a
consent order with the state admitting they unlawfully disposed of
30 boxes of voter documents in 2007.

The consent order signed Monday requires the Fulton County Board
of Registration and Elections to conduct semiannual audits. The
county must also pay a $20,000 civil penalty and another $100,000
into a fund to pay for independent audits.

The boxes were found in a trash bin at Atlanta Technical
College. They contained about 75,000 voter registration application
cards and 24,000 precinct cards. Many of the documents contained
personal information on active voters, such as full names and
Social Security numbers.
