Fulton County recount delayed by Dominion server crash, officials say
Source: 11alive
ATLANTA The push to complete a recount requested by President Donald Trump's re-election campaign has hit a snag in Georgia's most populous county as the statewide deadline looms.
Fulton County elections officials confirmed to 11Alive on Sunday that a newly-purchased Dominion Voting Systems mobile server had crashed earlier in the day.
"Technicians from Dominion have been dispatched to resolve the issue," Fulton County officials said in a statement. "The Georgia Secretary of States office has also been alerted to the issue and is aware of efforts to resolve the problem."
The county plans to resume its counting process on Monday morning. So far, Fulton suggests its teams have already concluded the counting of absentee, early in-person, and provisional ballots - 88 percent of ballots cast.

It does look a little sinister, and about that name,
Dominion.

(9,631 posts)It is crazy to be scanning the ballots after a hand count
I know its Georgia law but its foolish

(44,961 posts)SOS decided to hand count the presidential race as an audit.
Now they are doing a recount because Trump asked for a recount.

(9,631 posts)How will Democrats feel if the dominion guy comes and fixes the server and when they spit out the result tape it shows trump won ?
Having a private company workon voting machines during counting is a huge break in the chain of custody

(44,961 posts)Jeez.

(9,631 posts)Like I said,the hand count should be the standard

(5,989 posts)A hard crash would, at worst, mean that it's restored to a point before the crash. Any strange results seen after the restore would result in a review of all the backup data to see if the data was tampered with at any point.
There is no way all the backups could be tampered with.
What I'm saying is that there isn't going to be any surprise change in the results when the system is restored.
I really would like to know the reason for the crash though.
It might be the result of a hacker attack.

(9,631 posts)You have more faith in the proprietory software than I do .....
The hand count requires no special expertise past fifth grade math
Overseeing elections should be open to anyone interested and not require special expertise

(12,376 posts)And if you go down the "rigged software' road, then you're just following the trump bandwagon.
questionseverything
(9,631 posts)Since software is non transparent you have no idea if its counting/reporting correctly
The companies will not allow it to be examined so there is no proof it is correct
With an open transparent hand count of ballots and a tight chain of custody we can all be confident in the result
We had that in Georgia so a machine recount is just a stall

(1,336 posts)I'm not saying that computer glitches (and intentional glitches) don't occur. I'm only responding to the poster who questioned the "Dominion" name of these computers.
OTOH, perhaps you were only posting something "related to" but not intentionally vilifying Dominion. If so, my apologies.
