As the close of Election Day draws near, many parts of the United States are gearing up for protests and civil unrest, no matter who ends up winning the presidency. As election results pour in, it looks like one American in particular seems a little worried. On Nov.2, officials put a fence around the White House ahead of the election results, and it’s not reassuring. The barricade was reportedly put in place on Monday in preparation for what local D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham described as the possibility of «civil unrest» during an interview earlier in October. The National Park Service, which oversees the parks around the White House, told The Washington Post on Nov.2 that the fence, which is supposed to prevent climbing, was a temporary measure following a request from the U.S. Secret Service. The Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the fence from Elite Daily.
