Many US banks and shopping malls have taken precautionary measures to safeguard stores and banks in the United States, fearing possible unrest following the announcement of the presidential election results.

Iran PressAmerica: As the US presidential election is underway, many in the United States are worried about widespread social unrest following the announcement of the results.

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed in his campaign rallies that his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, would have rigged the election if Biden announces winning the election.

Thus, the American people are on the alert to save their lives and property in fear and insecurity of the ensuing riots.

Washington police said that although they did not feel any serious danger, many people are expecting street protests as the election approaches to end and results are going to be announced.

According to US media reports, thousands of US National Guard personnel have been deployed in various parts of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

While due to racist protests, some US cities and states such as Philadelphia, are still the scene of vandalism and looting of public property. Residents of other states fear that if Trump does not win, they will see street riots by his supporters.
