Heightened Security Ahead of U.S. Elections

As the U.S. presidential election approaches, heightened security measures have been implemented across multiple states due to concerns of potential political violence. In Arizona, Sheriff Russ Skinner has placed his department on high alert with drones and snipers ready, while the National Guard has been activated in 19 states, including battleground areas like Nevada, where a security fence surrounds the Las Vegas vote tabulation center. In Washington, D.C., security fencing has been erected around key sites such as the U.S. Capitol and the residence of Vice President Kamala Harris, with local law enforcement collaborating with the Secret Service to maintain safety. Detroit has also ramped up security following chaos during the 2020 election, with police ensuring that workers can perform their duties safely. The FBI is monitoring potential threats as both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris make final campaign pushes in a tense election climate. Officials are preparing for the possibility that the election results may not be known for days due to the divisive nature of the current political landscape.
