Crowds of people flocked to the White House shortly after sections of the country began to close. The crowd is waiting for the election results and the authorities are prepared for reactions after the announcement of the winner. Yesterday, the Bulgarian embassy in Washington warned of possible unrest after election day.

For several days, the capital and other large cities have been preparing for it. There is hardly a building near the White House that is not lined up against possible attack.

LIVE: THE BATTLE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE: Joe Biden or Donald Trump (UPDATED)
The atmosphere in front of the Trump residence remains calm, music is played, young people sing songs, about two hundred people walk and take selfies with the “Trump” doll. Television news is projected on the wall of one of the buildings. Police officers are on duty at a distance from the crowd. There are a lot of patrol cars on the surrounding streets.

A recent poll shows that 20% of Americans expect a new civil war after the elections. Analysts say the situation is unprecedented. Construction of a second tall fence has begun around the White House, although access was free years ago.
Downtown Washington DC is a bit unsettling tonight. The blocks around the White House closed to traffic, the police circulating, the fence is up, a few hundred protesters. It has little echoes of George Floyd’s protests here, but only the latter, much less tense. All peaceful. pic.twitter.com/q5UzvByKuc
