We further reported that Salonich, like Knapp, had been terminated from her position at the agency amid the investigation. Knapp was ousted from his job as the Palmetto State’s top election official last Wednesday (September 17, 2025). At the time of his ouster, he was already staring down a separate SLED investigation into “allegations of misconduct” (.pdf). ***After SLED confirmed its investigation into Salonich, FITSNews submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to SCVotes seeking correspondence related to her employment at the agency. Additionally, election employees were allegedly instructed by either Knapp or Salonich to falsify records related to the aforementioned deceptions – and to fabricate false claims.
