Donald Trump has renewed baseless claims that Democrats plan to rig the upcoming election, raising fears he might contest the results if Kamala Harris wins. Legal experts say new protections make it unlikely that any effort to disrupt the electoral process would succeed. These safeguards include post-Jan 6 electoral laws, recent court rulings, vigilant state officials, and more proactive law enforcement, which aim to prevent a repeat of past violence. Former FBI officials and national security experts warn of potential unrest post-Election Day, with some groups organizing at a scale reminiscent of January 6, 2021. Officials across various states have enhanced security to protect against violence at polling sites and certification events.
