[Capture News] More than 3,000 police officers will be deployed... Will violence break out in the U.S. presidential election?

In January 2021, thousands of supporters of former President Trump flocked to the U.S. Capitol.

The process of certifying then-President Biden's election was once suspended when supporters spurred by Trump's speech to incite dissent in the presidential election stormed Congress.

This presidential election is also expected to cause considerable confusion after the election as the prospects for "ultra-tight" are mixed until the last minute.

Trump has declared victory in this presidential election, but is making clear the possibility of disobedience.

Local media said there have already been more than 90 lawsuits related to the presidential election, including claims on social media that fake voters were found in early voting in Pennsylvania, the largest battleground state.

In response, Vice President Harris of the Democratic Party is also preparing for former President Trump's disobedience to the presidential election by recruiting influential figures such as former White House legal advisers.

Harris argues that Americans should not forget the U.S. Capitol riot, and that Trump's allegations of fraudulent elections are unfounded.

There are also many concerns about violence after the presidential election.

In an Ipsos poll released on the 25th of last month, 62% of respondents were concerned about violence after the presidential election.

In addition, 8% of the respondents said they wanted the election of their candidate by all means, even if violence followed.

As a result, authorities deployed more than 3,000 police officers around the White House to install large steel fences and control some parks.

Additionally, some states, including Washington State and Nevada, have issued emergency warnings to the National Guard in preparation for violence.
