The United States is scheduled to hold its presidential election vote on a certain date. In several "swing states" that could potentially influence the election outcome, to prevent riots, election facilities have installed barbed wire and bulletproof glass, and staff have undergone various trainings to handle emergencies.

On a specific date, outside the San Francisco City Hall, citizens passed by voting signs. The U.S. presidential election year saw the so-called "Super Tuesday" for the party primaries, where voters in over a dozen states and U.S. territories cast their ballots for candidates. The primaries mark the first phase of the U.S. presidential election. This year's general election voting day is set for a specific date.

Daniel Baxter, an election official in Detroit, Michigan, said that the city government is preparing for potential unrest in collaboration with the police and federal officials. The election commission headquarters has been equipped with additional armed guards, bulletproof glass, and the team counting mail-in ballots has been relocated to a safer location in the city center.

Pennsylvania has a significant electoral vote, considered a "big player" among the swing states. After the presidential election, it took Philadelphia, the largest city in Pennsylvania, 5 days to count the votes and confirm Joseph Biden's narrow victory over Donald Trump in the state. Since then, Philadelphia has begun reforming its vote-counting process, including relocating the election commission's office to a warehouse approximately 100 kilometers from downtown and installing barbed wire fencing on top of the warehouse. The city government has also purchased new machines to expedite the opening of mail-in ballot envelopes and scanning of ballots. Seth Bluestein, an election official, said the hope is to announce results more quickly, thereby shortening the window for the spread of misinformation and protecting election workers from harassment and threats.

Fulton County, Atlanta, Georgia, is the most populous region in the state. A local district attorney had previously filed criminal charges against Trump and others for allegedly interfering with the Georgia presidential election vote count, but this prosecutor later faced a scandal, prompting a review of his qualifications. The state appellate court halted the case proceedings this year. Trump, who failed in his bid for re-election in 2020, claimed that the election was marred by "widespread fraud." His large number of supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to prevent the certification of the election results. The riots resulted in multiple deaths and injuries to over a hundred police officers. More than 800 individuals have been federally charged in connection with the riots, and many of the criminal cases against Trump are also related to the incident. To this day, some of Trump's supporters still believe that the election results were "tampered with."

Danielle Alvarez, a senior adviser to the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, stated that the Republican Party has recruited ten thousand poll watchers and legal experts. She said, "While the Democrats will stop at nothing to undermine our elections, we will fight for a fair and secure process where every legal vote is counted correctly."

Fulton County Election Board Chairperson Sherrie Evans said the board began moving the counting process to a large warehouse nearly an hour's drive from downtown Atlanta last year. This year's counting process will be broadcast live on some large screens for the first time to increase transparency.

In North Carolina, some county election offices have installed emergency buttons, bulletproof glass, security cameras, and heavier doors. Patrick Gannon, spokesperson for the State Board of Elections, said election officials have received training on defusing tensions with angry individuals. Local police have distributed pocket-sized operation guides to officers to address various challenges that may arise during the election period.

In Wisconsin, election workers also receive training on techniques to ease tense situations. Polling stations have rearranged their layouts, specifically designating escape routes for staff. In the small town of Caswell in northern Wisconsin, polling station workers no longer sit by the door as they did in previous years, but instead sit at the far end of the room, facing the door, with two escape exits behind them. Speaking about these changes, worker Tammy Augustine said, "Although we haven't encountered any trouble yet, the world we live in is no longer the same as it used to be."
