Multiple reliable sources report that a pipe burst at State Farm Arena, a Fulton County ballot-processing site in Atlanta, on the morning of Election Day, November 3, 2020, delaying absentee ballot processing for about two to four hours.
The guest relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. PolitiFact and Lead Stories both report that a pipe burst at State Farm Arena, a ballot-processing facility in Atlanta, around 6 a.m. on Election Day 2020 and delayed absentee ballot counting.[1][2]
Supports. ABC News and the Washington Examiner, citing deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reported a pipe burst at State Farm Arena on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, causing a delay in processing ballots.[5][6]
Supports. The Washington Post and USA Today both confirm a pipe burst at the Atlanta counting site on Election Day, with the water halting counting for about two hours while no ballots were damaged.[4][7]
Contradicts. Newsweek and a later Metrovoice report say the evening incident initially described as a pipe burst was actually a urinal or toilet leak, which disputes the 'burst' wording for that separate late-night event rather than the morning incident.[8][9]
Context. The AP fact-check describes the morning event as a water leak that briefly delayed processing and says the 'suitcases' ballot-theft story built on it was false.[3]
