Security has been a big issue in the U.S. presidential election, with several gun assassination attempts.

Authorities have entered an emergency system in preparation for possible accidents, deploying a large number of security personnel around the two candidates as well as in the capital Washington.

Howard University, the alma mater of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.

It's a prestigious university called Harvard for Black people, and Harris decided to watch the vote count here, putting security on alert.

The juniors who came to be together cannot hide their excitement.

After the campaign, former President Donald Trump moved to the West Palm Beach Convention Center in Florida.

Trump decided to party here while watching the vote counting broadcast, but security has been greatly strengthened as there have been several assassination attempts.

Trump supporters have also come in large numbers.

Washington, D.C., the capital city where Trump supporters who disobeyed the results of the January 6, 2021 presidential election stormed the Capitol and suffered nightmares, is in a state of extreme tension.

Security at the White House has become tighter, barriers have been set up around the Capitol, and ordinary shops have been closed to prepare for emergencies.

National Guard troops have been deployed to North Carolina, which is considered a rival state, and drones and snipers have been deployed in some voting and counting facilities.

If terrorism or violence occurs due to the overheated election atmosphere due to the tight race, it could lead to chaos.

U.S. security authorities are particularly paying attention to Trump's mouth, which has laid the groundwork for "disobedience of the presidential election," citing election fraud.
