officials in Somerset County to temporarily switch over to Gmail to keep
agencies, such as health, emergency and sheriff's departments, up and running.
The attack, which began Tuesday, only affected email and IT systems, including a web form in
which residents can request replacement mail-in ballots for next month's state

working properly.
