FRAUD AND FOREIGN INTERFERENCE.
BUT SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE THINGS
FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE WENT
PRETTY SMOOTHLY.
>> TOM COSTELLO IS MONITORING
THAT FOR US.
WHERE DO WE START, TOM?
>> Reporter: LET ME PICK UP ON
THE POINT YOU JUST MADE.
HOMELAND SECURITY CYBER ELECTION
OFFICIALS WERE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF FOREIGN
INTERFERENCE, DISINFORMATION
CAMPAIGNS, MISINFORMATION CAP
PAINS.
-- CAMPAIGNS.
THEY SAY IT WENT REMARKABLY
WELL.
VERY, VERY LITTLE ACTIVITY IN
THE CYBER WORLD.
U.S. CYBER ENTITIES WENT ON THE
OFFENSIVE IN THE LAST 24, 48
HOURS AGAINST RUSSIAN AND
IRANIAN TARGETS THAT THEY KNOW
WOULD HAVE TARGETED THE U.S.
ELECTION INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT MAY BE WHY IT WAS REALLY A
PRETTY QUIET PERIOD IN THE CYBER
WORLD.
THANKFULLY SO.
LET’S GO THROUGH WHERE WE STAND
ON THE VARIOUS STATES AND WHEN
WE CAN EXPECT ANY SORT OF A
DECISION.
WE SHOULD REMIND THE AUDIENCE
THAT WE’VE TALKED ABOUT THE
POSSIBILITY GOING INTO THE
ELECTION OF A RED MIRAGE THAT
TURNS BLUE, A BLUE MIRAGE THAT
TURNS RED.
WE HAVE SEEN OF THAT ALREADY.
WE BEGIN RIGHT NOW WITH
PENNSYLVANIA, AND THE GOVERNOR
THERE IS SAYING THEY STILL HAVE
ABOUT A MILLION OR SO BALLOTS TO
COUNT AND THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY
AWAITING DATA SOON.
THEY PAUSED THE COUNTING
OVERNIGHT.
ABSENTEE BALLOTS POSTMARKED BY
ELECTION DAY -- THIS IS
IMPORTANT, ABSENTEE BALLOTS
POSTMARKED BY YESTERDAY CAN BE COUNTED IF THEY ARRIVE BY FRIDAY
COUNTED IF THEY ARRIVE BY FRIDAY
AT 5:00 AND ALL THE POSTMARK IS
CORRECT AND ACTION RAT.
ACCURATE.
SOME KEY VOTING AROUND THE
ATLANTA AREA.
WE’RE STARTING TO GET THAT DATA
IN.
THE DELAYS THERE WERE BECAUSE OF
SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE VOTING
TABULATION SOFTWARE AND A WATER
PIPE THAT BURST IN THE STATE
FARM ARENA.
SO WE ARE WAITING FOR A MORE
COMPLETE PICTURE OUT OF GEORGIA.
ARIZONA.
VOTERS HAVE FIVE DAYS TO CORRECT
THEIR SIGNATURES ON THEIR
BALLOTS.
THEY WILL NOT FINISH VOTING OR
COUNTING THE VOTE, WE SHOULD
SAY, UNTIL NOVEMBER 10th.
NOVEMBER 10th.
SO WE EXPECT WE MAY GET SOME
MORE DATA, THOUGH, AN UPDATED
PIECE OF THE PIE THERE TODAY.
NEVADA MAILED IN VOTES
POSTMARKED BY ELECTION DAY CAN
STILL BE COUNTED.
NEVADA OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL
HAVE NO FINAL COUNT ANNOUNCED
UNTIL THURSDAY, THURSDAY.
THEY’RE WAITING FOR MORE DATA
SPECIFICALLY FROM CLARK COUNTY,
AROUND LAS VEGAS, WHICH AS YOU
KNOW TENDS TO LEAN DEMOCRAT.
I JUST QUICKLY WANTED TO MENTION
MICHIGAN.
GOING INTO THE MORNING, 3.5
MILLION ABSENTEE BALLOTS HAVE
BEEN CAST.
THE MICHIGAN SECRETARY OF STATE
IS SUGGESTING WE MAY GET THOSE
NUMBERS IN PRETTY QUICKLY.
THEY’RE ROLLING IN AS WE SPEAK
RIGHT NOW.
IF YOU WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT
CONCERNED ABOUT THE UNEASE AND
THE ANXIETY THAT REGARDLESS OF
WHICH CANDIDATE YOU ARE
SUPPORTING, YOU’LL BE GLAD TO
KNOW THAT IT IS CALM ACROSS
AMERICA TODAY.
WE’VE HAD NO MAJOR CONCERNS, NO
MAJOR REPORTS OF DISRUPTIONS,
WASHINGTON, D.C. IS CALM, THE
WHITE HOUSE IS CALM, YET AGAIN
ADDING INTO THIS NOTION FROM
HOMELAND SECURITY YESTERDAY THAT
THIS ELECTION REALLY WENT
AMAZINGLY WELL.
NOT A LOT OF DRAMA AND
THANKFULLY NO REAL SIGNIFICANT
SIGNS OF DISRUPTIONS.
GUYS, BACK TO YOU.
>> WELL, TOM, ANOTHER SILVER
LINING HERE, IF YOU WILL,
TURNOUT.
THE SHEER NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO
PARTICIPATED IN DEMOCRACY, IT
REALLY IS ASTOUNDING.
WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS ON THAT?
>> Reporter: YEAH, I GOT TO TELL
YOU, IT’S ONE COMPLAINT YOU
OFTEN HEAR FROM FOREIGNERS, FROM
OTHER DEMOCRACIES.
THEY THINK WHY IS YOUR
PARTICIPATION LEVEL SO LOW IN
THE GREATEST DEMOCRACY IN THE
WORLD?
THE PARTICIPATION LEVEL WENT UP
DRAMATICALLY WITH THIS ELECTION.
ABOUT 65% OF THE ELECTORATE
VOTED.
WE HAVE 157 MILLION VOTES CAST.
SO THAT IS THE STRONGEST VOTER
TURNOUT IN A CENTURY.
SO VERY ENCOURAGING FOR PEOPLE
WHO SAY I DON’T CARE IF YOU VOTE
RED OR BLUE, VOTE.
