Here are the top three stories today in Sandy Springs:

1. A Fulton County data-mapping issue was corrected on Election Day. According to the Secretary of State's office, the Fulton County precinct had a similar name to one in Cobb County. The issue did not affect voting. There was also a check-in device issue in Sandy Springs. (The Current GA)
2. Fulton County fired two poll workers for social media posts. The firings occurred minutes before the polls were to be opened at Ocee Library. The two workers were a mother and son. The social media posts were reported by a fellow poll worker after overhearing a comment. The county will be conducting an investigation into the matter. (WSBTV)
