尽管很少有报道称投票中存在广泛的问题，但作为战场的佐治亚州已经出现了两次选举日的混乱。
周二早上，亚特兰大州立农场竞技场的一条管道爆裂，导致处理过程延迟了四个小时选举根据副国务卿乔丹·富克斯的说法。
福克斯说，爆炸“对选票没有影响——没有一张选票被损坏”。
福克斯称，作为NBA老鹰队主场的国家农场竞技场是富尔顿县最大的选票处理中心。富尔顿县是佐治亚州人口最多的县。

富尔顿县官员说，修复工作在两小时内完成，没有选票或设备受到影响。
至于计票的时间，县官员说，“在进行维修时，缺席选票列表出现了短暂的延迟。”
“今晚富尔顿县将报告大约86，000张缺席选票的结果，以及选举日和提前投票的结果，”县官员说。
官员们继续说:“按照计划，富尔顿县将在接下来的两天里继续将剩余的缺席投票列表。”"富尔顿县预计在选举日不会处理所有的缺席选票."
当晚晚些时候，富尔顿县选举公共事务经理里贾纳·沃勒(Regina Waller)告诉美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)，尽管早些时候打算在周二晚上完成处理，但选举部门还是在晚上10:30将州农场竞技场缺席投票柜台送回了家。一些额外的数字仍可能在周二晚上公布，但截至目前，工作人员将在周三上午8:30回来。
与此同时，在亚特兰大以南约37英里处，佐治亚州斯伯丁县的所有18个选区将在该县周二上午报告“全县技术问题”后再开放两个小时。
根据该县的一份声明，在该县检查选民的投票板出现故障后，临时选票被送到了每个地方。

佐治亚州国务卿办公室的实施经理加布里埃尔·斯特林(Gabriel Sterling)说，到下午，18个地点中的8个已经重置，并且“很好”。斯特林说，无论这些地点是否被重置，“每个地点现在都有选民投票”。
斯特林后来说:“投票仍在继续，当时投票仍在继续，我们对自己的处境感到非常舒服和自信。”
斯伯丁县专员委员会表示，根据法院命令，该地区的关闭时间延长至东部时间晚上9点。
福克斯告诉美国广播公司新闻，延期不会推迟佐治亚州的选举结果。
Pipe bursts in Atlanta arena causing 4-hour delay in processing ballots
Though there have been few reports of widespread issues at the polls, the battleground state of Georgia has been the site of two Election Day snafus.
A pipe burst in State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Tuesday morning, causing a four-hour delay in processingelectionballots, according to deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs.
The burst "had no impact on ballots -- not a single ballot was damaged," Fuchs said.
State Farm Arena, the home court of the NBA's Hawks, is the largest ballot processing center in Fulton County, according to Fuchs. Fulton County is Georgia's most populous county.
Fulton County officials said repairs were made within two hours and that no ballots or equipment were impacted.
As for the timing of counting ballots, county officials said, "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," county officials said.
"As planned, Fulton County will continue to tabulate the remainder of absentee ballots over the next two days," the officials continued. "Fulton County did not anticipate having all absentee ballots processed on Election Day."
Later in the night, Regina Waller, the Fulton County public affairs manager for elections, told ABC News that the election department sent the State Farm Arena absentee ballot counters home at 10:30 p.m. despite earlier intentions to complete processing Tuesday night. Some additional numbers could still come out Tuesday night, but as of now the staff will be back at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Meanwhile, about 37 miles south of Atlanta, all 18 precincts in Spalding County, Georgia, will remain open for an extra two hours after the county reported a "county wide technical issue" Tuesday morning.
After the glitch with the county's poll pads -- which check voters in -- provisional ballots were delivered to every location, according to a statement from the county.
By the afternoon, eight of the 18 locations had been reset and were "fine," said Gabriel Sterling, the implementations manager at the Georgia Secretary of State Office. Regardless of whether the locations had been reset, "every location has voters voting right now," Sterling said.
"Voting continues, voting continued at the time, and we feel very comfortable and confident about where we are," Sterling said later.
The precinct closing time was extended to 9 p.m. ET following a court order, the Spalding County Board of Commissioners said.
Fuchs told ABC News the extension will not delay Georgia's results.
