other news outlets this morning, but this is the first one I found...

Trashed Voter Registration Cards   
(WSB Radio) -- The Georgia Secretary of State's office has launched an
investigation into the disposal of tens of thousands of Fulton County
voter registration cards, 
More than 75,000 cards that contained a voter's full name, address and
Social Security number were found in a trash bin and a random sampling
showed many were for active voters. 

The cards were contained in more than 30 boxes of voter registration
application cards, precinct cards and other documents Monday in a
construction trash bin at Atlanta Technical College in southwest
Atlanta. 

``This represents a significant and serious breach of the personal
information of Fulton County voters and an outrageous violation of the
trust and integrity of Fulton County's elections,'' Secretary of State
Karen Handel. 

Handel has called in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the county
solicitor general's office to investigate and said she will audit the
county elections office, because ``this breach also creates serious
concerns about the overall operations'' of the office.
