BRIEF: Election server crashes


DES MOINES, Nov 07, 2012 (The Hawk Eye - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- The Iowa Secretary of State's server crashed Tuesday night with many races too close to call.

According to the Des Moines Register, trouble with the Iowa Communications Network caused poor web service to the Iowa Secretary of State's website.

The site, at times presenting users with an error message, is watched by millions globally due to Iowa's status as a swing state.
