All eyes are on Georgia and there are already issues.
A new report alleges that on Tuesday morning, a programming error affected some Dominion Voting Systems voting machines in Columbia County, Georgia, requiring voters to use emergency paper ballots for a short time.
Georgia voting system implementation manager Gabriel Sterling reported the error on social media at 8:28 a.m. Tuesday, announcing that voting would continue on emergency handwritten ballots until the problem was resolved.
He said that the programming error had to do with security keys and poll worker cards for the voting machines. He indicated that law enforcement was working to deliver new keys and cards to the locations that were experiencing technical difficulties.
Some issues in Columbia Co. There was a programming error on security keys for some locations scanners & pollworker cards. Voting continues on backup emergency ballots. Newly programmed keys&cards are being taken to locations via law enforcement.

According to WRDW-TV, by 10 a.m. the problem was resolved and voters were able to use the voting machines again.
A poll manager for a voting location at Stevens Creek Church in Columbia County explained that poll workers are given a code that gives them access to the voting system at the start of Election Day.
However, the code was wrong Tuesday morning. When there’s a problem, poll workers report the issue to the elections office, which will then work to reset the code and get the machines working again.
WRDW reported that the voting system currently in place in Georgia has been used for less than a year. When it works properly, voters receive a key card to activate the voting machine and then will use a touch screen to cast their ballots.
The machine prints a paper ballot with their selections, which voters will review before taking the printed ballots to a scanning station where their votes will be recorded.
The programming error caused the key cards not to work, so voters were provided with written ballots to fill out by hand. The written ballots were inserted into a slotted lockbox attached to the ballot scanner. The polling manager who spoke to WRDW said that the election staff works very hard to protect those written ballots and ensure they are counted.
Polling locations where handwritten ballots were filled out include West Acres Baptist Church, Kiokee Baptist Church, Stevens Creek, Augusta Christian, and River Island voting sites.
President Donald Trump commented on reports of the errors on Twitter, saying, “Ballots are being left in lock boxes, hopefully, they count them.”
Reports are coming out of the 12th Congressional District of Georgia that Dominion Machines are not working in certain Republican Strongholds for over an hour. Ballots are being left in lock boxes, hopefully they count them. Thank you Congressman @RickAllen!

Georgia’s 12th Congressional District comprises parts of Columbia County, where the errors were reported.
How is it that they are still using these voting systems... knowing that they produce fraudulent results?
Yeh something wrong with the code that switches the votes from Republican to Democrat.
Technical Issues
It’s going to be funny if that screw up caused the Dems to win places that Trump won...causing even more scrutiny
DOMINION MACHINES ARE JUNK......STICK WITH THE PAPER BALLOTS PERMANENTLY.............
RE: How is it that they are still using these voting systems... knowing that they produce fraudulent results?
Believe me, you’ll still be asking the same questions two years from now because COWARDLY REPUBLICANS AT THE STATE and FEDERAL LEVEL refuse to act to decertify the voting results of these problem states.
Every voting machine should have a technical malfunction, if voters bring a hammer with them.
Internet go down?
where is the live GA Run Off Election thread?
have we just given up at this point?
A clogged toilet brought the voting system down statewide, once again. But don’t worry, they will find all the Democrat votes - 200% of them! The media reports that there were no irregularities other than the person who used too much toilet paper.
“Internet go down?”
Maybe someone had a cell signal jammer?
(DVS scanners have a USB cellular dongle for internet access without Cat5 cabling to the building’s router.)
I wonder if Dems will be stupid enough to send everyone home again and find 80000 Biden votes at 3 am
given up:

FULTON COUNTY, GA!: No Republican observers are present at Georgia World Congress Center where single individuals are scanning & adjudicating ballots. I was told they are not #Dominion reps. No dual control. No observers. @RealAmVoice
Who’d a thunk it, they forgot to change some of the settings and both Georgia Senate races have been won by Joe Biden.
That's not a bug, it's a feature.
Georgia elections are hilarious now. Tammany Hall is reborn in Georgia.
The internet connection to Beijing probably lagged.
Why not?
"baseless", "unproven", "without evidence" etc., etc.
