Officials in Georgia have not been able to produce any invoices or work orders related to a "Burst pipe" at Atlanta's State Farm Arena that was blamed for an abrupt pause in vote counting on election night.
"I just heard a water pipe burst at SFA that will cause vote count delay. Has this affected the AFCRA office? I think they were counting votes next door," the sender, believed by Mr Dzikowski to be Mr Stewart, wrote at 7.42pm. "No sir - it was highly exaggerated - it was a slow leak that caused about an hour and a half delay," Mr Stiles replied at 7.43pm. "We contained it quickly - it did not spread - we just wanted to protect the equipment."
There is no suggestion that the confusion around the pipe bursting story is linked to any claims of widespread voter fraud or other conspiracy theories.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced on Wednesday that so far 97 counties had sent their final numbers, with Mr Biden leading Mr Trump by 14,111 votes out of just under 4.93 million in the state.
On Wednesday, the Trump campaign came out with fresh allegations of dead people casting votes in Georgia, citing a handful of newspaper obituaries and voter records.
"Mrs Deborah Jean Christiansen of Roswell, Georgia was registered to vote on October 5," the campaign said in a statement.
"Double voting, felon voting, people voting out of state - if you report it, we will investigate it. We will continue to follow and enforce the law."
