In the wake of January 6, experts warn that the biggest threat is now posed by lone actors, rather than large, coordinated events, despite ongoing criminal convictions.
Political violence is expected to escalate after elections, especially if results are contentious, with troubling incidents already reported around polling places across the country.
Incendiary rhetoric from political figures, particularly from the right, has exacerbated tensions, leading to calls for violence and potential threats directed towards opposing groups.
The strategic value of political violence may rise dramatically as soon as an election winner is declared, raising concerns over retaliatory actions from discontented parties.
