A growing number of U.S. states and cities are bracing for potential riots and civil unrest after the Nov. 3 presidential election, amid warnings that social tensions could be stoked by threat actors.

Federal authorities and state officials caution that Election Day and the days that follow could be marred by violence, widespread property damage, isolated violent incidents, and a long stretch of mass protests.

Law enforcement agencies from states including New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Washington, and California have said they are preparing for potential unrest given existing social tensions.
