(53 posts)This is an important news event, what's behind the media not mentioning this development. I read somewhere else that they closed shop for the evening and would resume tomorrow. Really??

(32,100 posts)The way they slap up buildings in these parts, and with the lack of infrastructure upkeep, this doesn't really surprise me. Of course, if all the ballots are destroyed, that's another story.

(4,613 posts)A water pipe burst in the State Farm Arena, where ballots were being counted. Don't you think that just maybe, in a place that hasn't been operating as normal for months and all of a sudden has water rushing through non-used pipes might have an issue?

(4,613 posts)I haven't watched news on TV since 2017, local or otherwise. I subscribe to the Washington Post, NY Times and the LA Times. That's good enough for me, and not padded with a bunch of worthless filler to have 7 hours of "news" in the morning.

Here is a statement from Fulton County about the pipe burst at State Farm Arena:
"At approximately 6:07 a.m., the staff at State Farm Arena notified Fulton County Registration & Elections of a water leak affecting the room where absentee ballots were being tabulated. The State Farm Arena team acted swiftly to remediate the issue. Within 2 hours, repairs were complete. No ballots were damaged, nor was any equipment affected. There was a brief delay in tabulating absentee ballots while the repairs were being conducted.
"Tonight Fulton County will report results for approximately 86,000 absentee ballots, as well as Election Day and Early Voting results. These represent the vast majority of ballots cast within Fulton County.
"As planned, Fulton County will continue to tabulate the remainder of absentee ballots over the next two days. Absentee ballot processing requires that each ballots is opened, signatures verified, and ballots scanned. This is a labor intensive process that takes longer to tabulate than other forms of voting. Fulton County did not anticipate having all absentee ballots processed on Election Day.
Fulton County is committed to ensuring that every vote is counted and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.

But heres the thing: the population of Dekalb is 760,000. Hillary earned 251,000 votes in 2016, which was 80 percent of the total.

(9,666 posts)Manual examination of hand-marked paper ballots in Florida, to make sure the reported computer tabulation was correct, is prohibited by state law.
i wonder if georgia has made it illegal to actually have humans count the votes yet as florida has
