Opinion: Why even a Biden presidency might see a period of heightened violence
Many election observers are terrified about what will happen as we try to determine who won the presidential election, as the counting drags out for days or even weeks and President Trump claims that he won and any result that indicates otherwise could only be produced by fraud.That is indeed something to worry about.
Unless the election is an absolute blowout on the level of 1984 or 1964, there will be a period when the result is still in doubt, as unprecedented numbers of mail ballots are counted. During that period, the president, his White House and his campaign will mount a furious media effort to convince people that the process is run through with cheating and corruption.His supporters will pour into the streets, as will Biden’s, confronting each other at state houses and election boards.
