Has this happened in any previous U.S. election? Where a significant number of businesses board up storefronts in anticipation of Election Day violence? @KevinMKruse, other historians, can you weigh in? https://t.co/9zT9GuPf2M
Trump desperately wanted the FBI to announce investigations into his political opponents this fall, to give his campaign a jolt. Instead, 48 hours before Election Day, the FBI announced that it's investigating Trump supporters for an alleged incident of political violence in TX.

Yes, that’s how I interpreted it. Now if we don’t see local & state law enforcement protecting people, we need to put the State AG’s & Governors on Blast. If it happens at the polls, people can report ASAP on https://t.co/KCREXjhzcj or 866-687-8683!

If there is one person who is both most responsible for Georgia's emergence as a competitive state, and most likely to benefit from a Democratic victory here, it is Stacey Abrams. https://t.co/03Zo7PDleX
If Trump loses, the presumption of immunity that attends the presidency will vanish. Given that more than a dozen probes and civil suits involving Trump are under way, he could be looking at an endgame even more perilous than the one Nixon confronted. https://t.co/8isPjoXgA5
‘I said make ‘em look more like you Tell them look you in the eye No birds eye view Voting is the least you could do’ — Rapper @akinyeminyc is urging people to show up Nov 3 with some 🔥 bars
VP JOE BIDEN;
In Philadelphia yesterday:
“You know, one of the things I most enjoyed about being back on the campaign trail
was meeting with the Black faith leaders all around the country. The churches I get to go to during the primaries and over 400 Black leaders, church leaders, supporting us. Almost every Sunday I’d get to sit in the pew and get inspired. I’d go to mass first early in the morning, then I go to the Black church to get some hope and some invigoration, man. I’d talked to people. I talked to people, hear what was on their minds. Pray with them. And that’s what, it was renewing. It was not about me, but our entire family. Jill would be with me and my grandkids. One of my grandkids is with me today, who’s a senior here in Philadelphia in college.”
“There’s one thing that remains the same, we have to earn our democracy. We have to get out and vote.
And as my late friend John Lewis reminded us, freedom is not a state, freedom is an act. We have to defend it. We have to vote. But the American people, the American people will not be silenced. Over 90 million people have already voted. Already voted. They’ve had enough. They’ve had enough.”
“In two days, we can put and end to a presidency that fanned the flames of hate, poured gasoline on every opportunity he had all across this nation.”
“When America’s heard, I believe the message is going to be loud and clear. It’s time for Donald Trump to pack his bags and go home. Time to breathe some life back into this nation. We’re done. We’re tired of the tweets, the anger, the hate, the failure, the irresponsibility.”
“Look, we can change the world. Not in one fell swoop. We can change it. We all know this country has to come together. We can not afford four more years of anger, hate, and division that we’ve seen under this president. Folks, look, from the day he announced, from the moment he came down that escalator, what did he say in New York? He said, “We’re going to go out and get those rapist Mexicans.” Rapist Mexicans. He put a ban on all Muslims coming to the United States. And the way he talked about the African-American community. The way he talked about the Hispanic community.”
“The Day After Election Day”
“Current and former Trump administration officials are worried about what might happen on Nov. 4.”
“Many of those adversaries, they report, are already finding success in simply amplifying and directing the president’s words and tweets. And they’re thoroughly delighted, a former top intelligence official told me, “at how profoundly divided we’ve become. Donald Trump capitalized on that — he didn’t invent it — but someday soon we’re going to have figure out how to bring our country together, because right now we’re on a dangerous path,
so very dangerous, and so vulnerable to bad actors.”

President Trump addressed the incident at rally on Sunday, saying: “They were protecting his bus yesterday because they’re nice.” (US Elections)
