Trump supporter Terry Frandle checks his mailbox in his front yard decorated for Halloween and a Trump reelection campaign in Saint Clair Shores, Mich., Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2020. In Macomb County, Frandle hung Trump banners outside his house and noticed that neighbors who used to stop to chat crossed to the other side of the street, not even offering a "hello." Some drivers wave, some flip the bird. He doesn't blame Trump for the discord, he blames Democrats and the media for failing to give Trump a fair shake, he said. He plans to vote in person on Election Day. "I just don't trust anything anymore," he said, except for what he hears directly from Trump. (AP Photo/David Goldman)
SHE carefully planned a five-hour drive to the polling place in her Tennessee hometown to vote on Election Day. She considered the traffic, the weather, the surging coronavirus pandemic and – something she never imagined having to contemplate – the possibility of civil unrest in the aftermath of an American election.
The last four years have delivered so many shocks that anything seemed possible to Lacey Stannard, the wife of a soldier. She had tried to get an absentee ballot sent to her home on a military base on the other side of the state. But the clerk in her hometown refused. A part of her thought it was crazy to drive 10 hours roundtrip to cast a Democratic vote in deep-red Tennessee, but a larger part thought it was worth it to register her displeasure.
