According to US media reports, most of the current demonstrations are relatively small, with participants ranging from tens to hundreds of people. The rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was relatively large and dominated by supporters of Democratic candidate Biden. They shouted slogans demanding a full vote recount, which once blocked Interstate 94. Fox News reported that more than 600 people have been arrested for obstructing traffic in the city, and most of those arrested were soon released. New York City, Philadelphia, Seattle, Portland, and other cities also participated in rallies calling for a full recount of votes.
Supporters of US President Trump demonstrated in Phoenix, Arizona, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and elsewhere to demand fair elections. Arizona and Pennsylvania are important “battlefield states” in this election, and vote counting work in the two states has not been completed. Biden has a small lead in Arizona, and the Associated Press and other outlets believe he has won in the state; Trump is currently leading in Pennsylvania, but his lead is gradually shrinking due to the beginning of counting a large number of votes sent by mail.
The National Broadcasting Corporation reported that hundreds of Trump supporters began surrounding a vote-counting center in Phoenix since the night of the 4th, claiming the votes were fraudulent and that some of them were carrying weapons. Local election department officials stated that some of the ballots in the ballot count were in fact invalid because the markers used by voters to fill out the ballots damaged the ballots and made them unrecognizable.

Fox News and the Associated Press reported that a group of Trump supporters demonstrated outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia on the 5th, but quickly attracted opponents. The two sides clashed on the street with slogans supporting and opposing the Trump / Pence combination, and overall peace is currently being maintained.
Although protesters clashed with police everywhere except Portland, demonstrations in most areas were generally peaceful. According to the USNews and World Report website, Portland Police Chief Chuck Lovell said on the 5th that the violence occurred late at night on the 4th and some stores and ATMs in the city center were shattered; In Multnomah County, where the city is located, the county sheriff’s office stated that at least one man threw a Molotov cocktail at police, and police confiscated at least one loaded rifle, some fireworks and firecrackers from protesters. . Spray paint cans.
The New York Times said that this wave of demonstrations revolved primarily around the general election, but was also mixed with demands against racism and police violence. Given that a series of events such as the death of Freud this summer have intensified the conflict between the police and the people, it is necessary to be alert to various factors that can lead to violence in the demonstrations.
