For the most part, election officials in battleground states are reporting few problems at voting stations, with millions of Americans casting their ballots on Election Day, per CNN. In Michigan, a spokesperson for the secretary of state said voting has been going "smoothly," while lines in Georgia — which dealt with numerous issues during primary voting — have reportedly been moving quickly. Florida's Secretary of State Laurel Lee said there have been no security issues in the Sunshine State, and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said his city is "off to a great start," adding that "no news is good news."
