Officials: We won't have the vote count we expected tonight in Fulton County, home to Atlanta and a tenth of all Georgians. Absentee-by-mail processing at State Farm Arena was delayed 4 hours because a water pipe burst in a room. Officials say no ballots were damaged.
Fulton has scanned 86,191 of the 130,517 absentee-by-mail ballots received, which doesn't include the ballots received in today's mail, elections officials said.
One board member thinks we won't have results until Friday.
As of 5 p.m., 14,152 Fulton residents have voted today, with 598 provisional ballots cast. Fulton elections head Richard Barron has been talking about roughly 150K-170K voting today. That's a big difference.
