US Polls 2024: Security Tightens in Washington DC Ahead of US Election Day | N18G

Ahead of the US presidential election on November 5, large security fences have been set up in Washington DC amid concerns about post-election violence. US intelligence officials have warned that Russia and Iran could try to foment unrest after the election, with the Kremlin backing Donald Trump as part of a wider aim to divide Americans and weaken US alliances. Both Russia and Iran deny meddling in the election, but fears persist, fueled by the potential for disinformation similar to that seen before the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Trump is facing charges over efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
