00:00Hello everybody, I'm Scott Shuey and this is Ed Klaus and we're here to give you your

00:06latest update on the U.S. midterm elections.

00:09Voter suppression has long been a contentious issue in the United States and it's really

00:12come to the fore in the Georgia governor's race.

00:15Candidate Stacey Abrams has accused her opponent, Brian Kemp, of trying to strike off a number

00:20of African American voters from the register by removing their eligibility to vote.

00:24Scott, where else has voter suppression been an issue today?

00:27Well, actually it's been an issue across the country in a number of areas, but the Department

00:31of Homeland Security has come out and said they've been monitoring the situation and

00:35they made two statements.

00:36The first was that when it comes to the voting machines, they have not seen any unusual number

00:41or spike in the breakdown of these machines.

00:43What they've seen so far, at least in terms of, we're assuming they mean Georgia, that

00:48seems to be within the normal failure rate for the particular machines, although there

00:51have been some specific claims that things like lack of cords have prevented the voting

00:57machines from even being plugged in.

00:59However, in terms of hacking, the department has said they have not seen any spike in the

01:03amount of activity out there.

01:05We'll be monitoring the Homeland Security's updates and of course updates from all other

01:08relevant channels as the evening progresses and we'll keep you up to date with that.

01:12Thanks very much for watching.
