Narrative:

Prior to taking the runway all checklists were performed and executed correctly along with the correct status and advisory messages; ('takeoff config. Ok' message was acknowledged by both crew members). When cleared for takeoff; power was applied and set. At approximately 50 knots we received a master warning; 'config spoilers'. Then my captain stated that there was no right rudder response and the aircraft slowly drifted left of the center line. We immediately performed a rejected takeoff and cleared the runway. After clearing the runway; my captain made pas to both the passengers and flight attendants. After stopping we performed the QRH for the rejected takeoff and verified that the spoilers were stowed which they were. We both checked synoptic pages for hydraulics and flight controls and they both indicated normal indications. After debriefing the situation we both agreed the state of the aircraft was safe to continue the flight. The remainder of the flight to the destination was uneventful.after acknowledging the 'takeoff config ok' message it is difficult to determine how to avoid a recurrence.
