As Election Day nears, uncertainty remains high over almost every aspect of the presidential race.

Researchers and conflict mitigation practitioners are concerned that the possibility of political violence in the coming weeks and months may be more certain than it has in any recent election.

All of them work outside of government and law enforcement, but have been involved in efforts aimed at de-escalating polarization campaigns that might otherwise turn violent. While concern remains high, many say violence is not inevitable and that ordinary people can play an important part of defusing tensions.

“Every single number is elevated, from hate crimes, political homicides, people driving into protesters, you name it,” said Rachel Kleinfeld, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “If it's a kind of political violence, it's been going up since 2016.”

The worrying scenario that organizations are planning for is one where Trump again loses and refuses to concede.

Few, however, believe there will be a repeat of the January 6th attack at the U.S. Capitol. Instead, many say there may be organized efforts to interfere with state certification processes or local vote tallying efforts.

“It might be more diffuse, in lots of places across the country, which, in many respects, actually heightens the threat,” said Pete Simi, a professor of sociology at Chapman University.

Common Defense, a national, progressive, grassroots organization of 40,000 veterans has been preparing its own network to respond to locations where such crises may unfold. It is assembling Quick Reaction Forces, or QRFs, to show up unarmed and in plainclothes.

“We're training a lot of folks in de-escalation,” said Perry O’Brien, co-founder of Common Defense. “We're training folks in monitoring and capturing video for accountability.”

In addition, O’Brien said the organization is training its own members to gather open source intelligence — publicly available information, often posted to social media sites — to monitor extremist activity in swing states around the election.

“That's obviously the area that we're anticipating a lot of these threats are going to come from,” he said.


 
There will be no violence from the right. Simply the thrill of victory. Meanwhile you will suffer the agony of defeat. And remember,...as those tears of yours flow,........WE did this to you. WE the American people REJECTED you.
 
Lololol uh huh. Someone is going to be super butthurt soon.
Yes,...yes you are. So butthurt that you wont show your face around here for days if not weeks. You are just wayyyyyyyyy too emotionally invested . Do you have any clue why it is that the smartest and most reasonable LWers here haven't posted AT all in here in days? You mean you haven't figured it out yet? It's right in front of you. DUH!!!

An elections worker wanted to serve her country. A stew of conspiracy theories and vitriol awaited​



Cari-Ann Burgess did something completely unremarkable: She made a quick stop at a coffee shop on her way to work.

For Burgess, the top election official in a northern Nevada county, such outings could be precarious. As she waited for a hot tea and breakfast sandwich, an older woman wearing a Trump-Vance sweatshirt approached.

“She proceeded to tell me that I should be ashamed of myself — that I’m a disgrace, I’m an embarrassment to Washoe County, and I should crawl into a hole and die,” Burgess said in an interview with The Associated Press the following day.

Burgess requested medical leave to deal with stress.

Overseeing the office now is Burgess' deputy — the fifth person in four years to run the county election operation.

The entire staff is new since 2020.

The turnover is one symptom of a county that has been buffeted by election conspiracy theories since Donald Trump lost the state to President Biden in the 2020 presidential election..

You are delusional at this point. I'm not going anywhere. I can see you really want me to leave but alas I'm not going to. Cope harder, I have seen all the regulars on here lately. Not sure what you are on about. Maybe lay back on the opioids.
