Secretary of State's voter database has been unavailable all day

 The Secretary of State's voter database has been out all Election Day, according to a spokeswoman for the office.
The database, required by federal law, keeps track of all voters information and is normally accessed by both voters and county clerks on Election Day to verify voting registration, status, and polling places.
"The database itself is fine. We're having issues allowing Internet access to it," said Laura Egerdal, a spokeswoman for Secretary of State Robin Carnahan, a Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Republican Roy Blunt.
"For almost all voters, you should be able to vote and it won't be a problem," Egerdal said.
But poll watchers working for Carnahan's opponent, Roy Blunt, suggested the snafu could create a "huge mess."
