Georgia: Unknown "technician" uploaded something that caused a "glitch" on election day...this is not normal and is never done!

 Georgia election official: Machine glitch caused by last-minute vendor upload

Excerpt:
The companies “uploaded something last night [11/2/20], which is not normal, and it caused a glitch,” said Marcia Ridley, elections supervisor at Spalding County Board of Election. That glitch prevented pollworkers from using the pollbooks to program smart cards that the voters insert into the voting machines.

Ridley said that a representative from the two companies called her after poll workers began having problems with the equipment Tuesday morning and said the problem was due to an upload to the machines by one of their technicians overnight.

“That is something that they don’t ever do. I’ve never seen them update anything the day before the election,” Ridley said. Ridley said she did not know what the upload contained.
