Berkshire County District Attorney Andrea Harrington says her office is ready to respond to any reports of election interference or intimidation during voting on Tuesday. Harrington says her office is coordinating with the state attorney general and federal and local law enforcement, but there are no specific threats at this point. She spoke with WAMC's Ian Pickus.

Harrington, a Democrat, says voters should report any issues to election clerks, local police or by calling the DA at 413-443-5951.
