With the close presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump beginning in a tie in Dixville Notch, concerns about potential post-election unrest are growing. Experts warn of a possible resurgence of violence, reminiscent of the January 6th Capitol riot, and some fear that a Trump defeat could even spark widespread civil unrest due to deepening political polarization and doubts about election integrity.
Voters in key swing states reveal a tense, divided electorate, with many worried that a narrow victory could lead to unrest. A number of voters are concerned that Trump may not concede if Harris wins, possibly leading to another, potentially more coordinated attempt to dispute the results.
An article in *The Times* warns that a razor-thin election margin could push the nation toward an insurgency fueled by misinformation, potentially leading to a breakdown in order unprecedented since the 1860s Civil War. Experts agree that some level of violence may be inevitable, though they differ on its potential scale.
