US polls 2024: Security strengthens in Washington DC ahead of US election day | N18G

On the eve of the US presidential election on November 5, large security barriers were erected in Washington DC, due to concerns over post-election violence. U.S. intelligence officials have warned that Russia and Iran could try to provoke unrest after the election as the Kremlin supports Donald Trump as part of a broader goal to divide Americans and weaken U.S. alliances. Russia and Iran deny interference in the election, but fears persist, fueled by the potential for disinformation similar to that seen before the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Trump faces charges for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
