I love you guys ... I really do.
Here's what your source says just before your cherry-picked quote:
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."
Here's the actual title ...
Pipe bursts in Atlanta arena causing 4-hour delay in processing ballots
So, there's a bit more context ... but wait, there's more ...
Fulton County Election Chief Richard Barron said Friday during a special board meeting there never was an announcement for everyone to leave the arena.
"Certain staff that [was] on the cutting stations, that [was] on the flattening stations, that [was] extracting from the inner envelopes, those staff left as work completed," Barron said. "I found out sometime. I think a little after 10:30, that they were going to cease operations. I told them not to do that."

Among the most authoritative debunkings that Mashburn offered concerned the allegation that on Election Night, Fulton County sent observers home and then continued to count in secret at State Farm Arena.
The more extreme claim tied to that allegation was that the county was somehow manufacturing fraudulent ballots in the early hours after Election Night.
Mashburn, a Republican, said he knew that wasn't true because there was a board-appointed observer on site. Further, the counting itself wasn't going on in secret, he said, because he himself was posted at the English Avenue precinct until 3 a.m. that night and it was plainly apparent to the handful of people there that counting was still going on at State Farm Arena.

Yes, “everyone” did see that.
EVERY news station reported the count would be stopped until morning.
It was rigged so tight, Joe Biden had no hesitation bragging about it twice, in October.
Georgia's Secretary of State blasted lawmakers today for allowing a man to testify who claimed he broke into Georgia's voting system during early voting.
The state says he didn't, and that elevating his voice is sowing distrust in the electoral process.
David Becker, Executive Director and Founder of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said in an email to Sinclair that such a method is 'totally made up’ and opposed the claims Pulitzer made about allegedly faulty ballots during the hearing.
