Officials in Westchester County, New York, assured voters that every eligible ballot would be counted despite technical difficulties with scanners. Unscannable ballots will be securely collected and processed under election procedures. The state's Attorney General Letitia James said her office was monitoring the situation.

Meanwhile, Michigan reported that 32.9% of active registered voters had cast ballots by 7 a.m. Tuesday, including more than 750,000 early in-person voters. Key contests include the governor's race and an open Senate seat.

CBS News also reported that election experts expect some closely contested races to remain undecided on election night. David Becker of the Center for Election Innovation & Research cautioned that delayed results are not evidence of electoral fraud, particularly when margins are narrow.
