The Guardian has a story detailing the firing of Christopher Krebs, who served as the director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa)
President Trump made the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, saying Krebs "has been terminated" and that his recent statement defending the security of the election was "highly inaccurate".
CISA last week released a statement refuting claims of widespread voter fraud. "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history," the statement read. "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
Krebs, is a former Microsoft executive, and was appointed by President Trump after allegations of Russian interference with the 2016 election.

And you know about it because it was caught and corrected. So after burning a couple million dollars trying to salve Trump's bruised ego, nothing changed. Note, the Secretary of State in Georgia is in charge of running the election and any audits of the process. He is a Republican, as is the Governor.
These kind of errors happen and get caught and corrected in every election. They happen any time we try to count millions of anything.
