The election was “peaceful and secure”, according to the director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
In a statement, Jen Easterly, the agency’s director, says the “election infrastructure has never been more secure” and there has been “no evidence of any malicious activity that had a material impact on the security or integrity of our election infrastructure”.
Law enforcement agencies nationwide had been on high alert for potential violence as voters cast their ballots. 
The FBI confirmed yesterday that there were about 30 bomb threat hoaxes that targeted election-related locations throughout the US – many in districts that favoured Democrats. More than half of the threats were aimed at precincts in Georgia.
The hoaxes “appear to originate from Russian email domains”, the FBI said.
