The International Crisis Group, which monitors conflict around the world, is warning of possible violence in the United States during voting or the vote-counting process.  The group cited growing political polarization, the rise of armed groups and the higher-than-usual chances of a contested election outcome.

But the International Crisis Group says the most important risk factor is the president himself.  In a new report, the group writes that President Trump’s “toxic rhetoric and willingness to court conflict to advance his personal interests have no precedent in modern U.S. history.”
