No confirmation yet as to the cause of the abort; BUT, possibly Ground Support Equipment (GSE), not the launch vehicle.
Vehicle safeing continues.

and now the US can't get any of 3 rockets off the ground because of ground support equipment, i.e. infrastructure, issues...

Intention is to do a 24 hour recycle subject to understanding and correcting abort condition.

Had heard it was an autosequence abort. Abort called at T-2 minutes and 21 seconds.
The callout was at 01:41:03 UTC (per the clock on the screen):
NLC, this is Prop Lead, we are OTCS automated abort.
She tried to make the callout two seconds earlier, but was stomped on by a short reply from OPS2.
[Acronym expansion (and correction) appreciated.]Edit:
* Link to callout:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=w8AAdZ1TDUw&t=2394*
Below, SkipMorrow identified it as "OCCS", for Orbital Commodity Control Systems. A search on those phrases describes it as the "team where we control the propellant loading systems for launches", which makes sense as the callout was by Prop Lead.

If I've got it right, it sounds like this one may go Friday night around 2045 ET and Falcon 9 GPS will go at 2143 ET

If tomorrow’s launch is 21 minutes earlier in the evening, isn’t a 9:17 PM EDT launch within a half hour of the 7:43 PM EDT launch time for Falcon 9 with GPS-III?
Don’t the two launch sites share some downrange assets like Bermuda?
hartspace: The ISS orbit precesses ~5 degrees per day the equivalent of ~21 minutes earlier IIRC.
edit: What Stephen says below
I was off by one minute. Shoot me. :-P
