Tarz Press: U.S. officials in Washington have announced that the National Guard has been placed on standby due to concerns over potential violence surrounding the 2024 election.

Earlier this week, Washington experienced election-related violence, with protesters setting ballot boxes on fire. Washington is one of the states where voters can cast their ballots in advance of Election Day, and initial estimates indicate that over two million people have already voted. Polls suggest that Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, has a strong chance of defeating Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, in this state.

According to the latest reports from U.S. media, Harris currently leads in early voting in Washington. The official U.S. presidential election will take place on November 5.
