Voting machine problems Tuesday in Spalding County in Georgia and other places are being monitored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), said Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs.

“When you see tech challenges or failures, it is very, very, very, rarely a cyber issue, based on everything we’ve seen, that’s what’s going on out there,” he said, according to Fox News. He said that it’s likely not a cyberattack on election systems.
