Brad Raffensperger, secretary of state for Georgia, has criticized an election employee for making errors in the election, following the requested recount of Fulton County by the Trump campaign.

He blamed the employee for disobeying orders.

"The real issue is a Fulton County employee made several compounding errors," Raffensperger said. "Instead of following the procedures that my office and the vendor laid out, Fulton County once again cut corners. The biggest one being [the employee] backed up the election project on the server itself instead of on an external backup. Because of that decision, they lost the ability to upload hundreds of thousands of scanned ballots."

The County’s new Dominion Voting Systems mobile server crashed, among other issues, leaving understaffed workers to rescan over 300,000 ballots, meaning they might fail to meet the Wednesday midnight deadline.

Trump had also requested for the recount to look at matching signatures on the envelopes and ballot signatures for absentee votes.

Meanwhile, Attorney General William Barr said that he does not have solid evidence to suggest fraud in the election.

“To date to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election,” Barr said in an interview with The Associated Press.
