ATLANTA — Georgia's voter check-in system was restored Thursday morning after a statewide outage had caused problems with early voting in the primary election, according to the secretary of state's office.
Voters were still able to cast ballots during the outage, but poll workers had to use backup procedures to verify their registration information before they were allowed to vote.
The problem was caused by a "glitch" after primary and backup servers automatically restarted Wednesday night, said a spokesman for the secretary of state's office. Restarting the servers Thursday morning appeared to fix the issue.
