Georgia recount in Fulton County delayed by Dominion server crash

Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, said a Dominion Voting Systems mobile server crashed on Sunday, delaying a recount requested by President Trump.

"Technicians from Dominion have been dispatched to resolve the issue," Fulton County officials said in a statement reported by WXIA-TV, a local NBC affiliate.

Fulton County officials told the outlet that a newly purchased Dominion mobile server crash was to blame.

Officials in Fulton, Georgia's most populous county that includes Atlanta, indicated that most of the ballot-counting in the recount is complete and that it will resume on Monday morning.

A federal judge ordered all voting machines in Georgia not be wiped until further notice in a lawsuit seeking an inspection of the hardware, but hours later reversed the order, noting that the machines at the center of the request are in the possession of county election officials.

The U.S. district judge, Timothy Batten, issued another order late in the evening to say officials are temporarily restrained from allowing the alteration, destruction, or erasure of software or data from Dominion machines in three Georgia counties - Cobb, Gwinnett, and Cherokee.

Georgia already certified the election results on Nov. 20 after an initial recount conducted by hand showed Biden winning the state's 16 Electoral College votes by about 13,000 votes.
