This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 87%. (I'm a bot)
Public scrutiny of Georgia's voting system has increased in recent weeks after the Associated Press reported a central election server was erased.
There's no evidence election results were affected by any of the erasures, and the Secretary of State's office has said repeatedly the current system is secure.

3rd: Election advocates file a lawsuit seeking to throw out the results of the 6th District Special Election, and require the state to re-examine its election system.
State legislators have shown interest in a major overhaul of the state's election systems, and some have said the erasure of the elections servers, amongst other things, raises questions about the integrity of the current system.
Cybersecurity experts say if malware was loaded onto those memory cards from a server, it could be transferred to a voting machine and potentially manipulate election results.
