In anticipation of potential violence and unrest during the 2024 U.S. presidential election, security measures have been greatly enhanced across the nation. This includes the deployment of drones, snipers, bomb-sniffing dogs, metal detectors, and panic buttons at polling stations and vote-counting centers, with the National Guard on standby in some states. These precautions come in response to increased threats, harassment of election workers, and the spread of misinformation, largely stemming from former President Trump's claims of election fraud following his 2020 loss. Election officials are focusing on ensuring a secure and fair voting process, with many states implementing new security laws since 2020. Despite heightened security, officials, like Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, assure the public that voting systems are safe and secure. Efforts to counter misinformation and conspiracy theories are in place to maintain trust in the electoral process.
