Officials cited at least two reprimands that Brady received in the past six months as the reason for his firing. "It really is a matter of human error not of some big fraud or conspiracy and people make mistakes, but unfortunately I think this one falls at the feet of our elections director who I've been critical of this entire elections cycle," said Rome City Commissioner, Wendy Davis. Election officials discovered around 2,600 votes that were not counted in the county's total earlier this week during the statewide audit.Election workers ultimately had to rescan more than 8,000 ballots to get to the bottom of the problem.
