This article puts the blame for potential in the wrong place. It's not "the election" (which means "the voters") it's Trump that could cause chaos.
There are zero states, counties or municipalities experiencing political violence right now. Nothing appears to be terrifically amiss anywhere. Yes, Alaska has 2 "Dan Sullivan" candidates for governor, but they're carefully identified on the ballot for governor, it's been litigated to AK Supreme Court, and the federal government isn't in charge of elections, especially state elections.
Trump, one person, is the wild card, and the source of potential chaos. Not "elections" not "Democrats" not "right wing paramilitaries". Trump.
Trump can follow laws, regulations, the US constitution, and democratic norms and stay out of it. If there's chaos, he's the source and the cause.
I meant the specific point in time where the election happens, not really the parties involved in actual voting.
And yeah, the post is about how Trump will cause it.
People need to say it instead of observing the journalistic customs of not assigning agency to political conservatives, and not naming Trump.
