" In multiple cases, Jones reported on what appeared to be tension between Fulton County employees and temporary staffers, specifically those employed by Happy Faces, an Atlanta-area personnel group.
"Shaye had issues with them not following her direction b/c they said that they were taking order from the Happy Faces rep and not her," Jones wrote, claiming that the confusion had resulted in workers doing things "Eagerly but incorrectly." At one point Jones alluded to what appeared to be a potential security issue brought about by Happy Faces workers.
Georgia court documents indicated that NowAccount - a microfinance company cofounded by Abrams and one in which she may still hold a financial stake - had at one point in the past had a financial relationship with Happy Faces.
Happy Faces CEO Michael Hairston this week said Happy Faces had never had any financial arrangement with NowAccount, that the group had considered an arrangement with the financial services firm but had ultimately passed.
At one point, an election worker allegedly witnessed a conversation in an elevator, reportedly between two Happy Faces staffers, during which one of the workers revealed his intention to "f*ck sh*t up" at the ballot-scanning operation.
In another instance, Jones wrote that election workers had to "reorganize last night's provisional scans - all properly scanned and secured but they didn't match the originals to the [duplicates]," a SNAFU that Fulton workers allegedly blamed in part on "Happy Faces reinforcement staff.
" Interactions between Happy Faces staffers and Fulton workers were apparently so tense that at one point Fulton staff apparently turned down help from Happy Faces even when work was piling up.
