Experts Warn of Potential Post-Election Violence in the US

TL;DR Summary
The risk of election-related violence in the US is real, with incidents like machete-wielding intimidation and arson of ballot boxes already occurring. While fears of a civil war are exaggerated, significant numbers of Americans support political violence, particularly among Republicans. Preparations for potential unrest are underway, with increased security measures at polling stations and election offices. Despite these efforts, isolated violent incidents are expected, and the rhetoric from political leaders like Donald Trump may exacerbate tensions.
