The 2024 U.S. presidential election sees unprecedented precautions as fears of civil unrest grow amid a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Business owners have boarded up their stores in case of riots. The growing political violence worries voters.
Preparations for Potential Unrest
Businesses and governments nationwide are on high alert as the 2024 presidential election nears, preparing for possible civil disturbances. The contest between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains deadlocked, raising concerns of electoral disputes. Historical precedents of post-election violence are prompting authorities to adopt stricter security measures. Specifically, urban centers are viewed as high-risk areas for unrest.
Increased demand for security services reflects these heightened concerns. Security firms report a significant uptick in requests for protection, indicating a widespread apprehension about potential violence. The anticipation of unrest is particularly significant if litigation delays or contests the election results.

Urban Centers and Post-Election Risks
Cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are on high alert due to predictions of increased unrest in urban areas. According to Verisk, a leading risk management company, these cities rank among the highest for potential civil disturbances. Authorities in these regions are proactively installing security measures, including boarding up businesses and enhancing law enforcement presence, to deter potential violence.
Preparations extend to key dates beyond Election Day, particularly the certification and inauguration, which are vulnerable to unrest if results are disputed. This forethought aims to mitigate disruptions during these crucial periods.

Government Initiatives for Public Safety
Governments at both state and federal levels are prioritizing public safety amid election-related tensions. Extensive measures are in place to protect voters from intimidation. In Washington and Oregon, investigations into incidents involving incendiary devices at ballot drop boxes illustrate the seriousness of these threats. Election officials remain vigilant and prepared to respond to any threats that may arise.
Additionally, government action includes intelligence sharing between agencies to thwart potential threats. Vigilance is paramount to keep peace throughout the electoral process, reassuring the public of their security while participating in the democratic process.
A Chicongo Proffesor being rational,I doubt it. He is an obvious actor for the Democrat/Communist Party spreading false propaganda in advance of political violence entirely instigated by the Democrat/Communist Party operatives, and alphabet agency fraudulent planted fake demonstrators. Very few actual Republicans took part, almost entirely staged by leftist actors, and corrupt law enforcement like the “Capitol Police” for one.
