As millions of Americans prepare to cast their ballots in Tuesday's high-stakes presidential election, security concerns loom large. Federal agencies warn of potential political violence fueled by extremist groups – a plot twist no one wanted in this democracy drama.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and FBI have flagged risks from domestic actors radicalized by election fraud conspiracy theories. Think 'Captain America: Civil War,' but with voting booths instead of superheroes.
While issues like the economy and climate policy dominate voter conversations, election officials nationwide are playing real-life 'Among Us' – tightening security at polling stations and monitoring for threats.
This election cycle mirrors a binge-worthy thriller: high turnout expected, razor-thin margins in battleground states, and security teams on DEFCON 2 mode. Will democracy's season finale be a peaceful transfer of power or end on a cliffhanger? Stay tuned.
