The U.S. election will take place in a highly volatile risk environment. In recent weeks, U.S. national security officials have warned of lone-wolf attacks at polling stations. The U.S. Secret Service has designated vote counting and certification as a “national special security event,” a label previously given only to events the size of the Super Bowl or a presidential inauguration. Threats are mounting at the local level, where election officials are forced to increase security and train staff in how to safeguard the polls. As major news outlets continue to focus on the horse race, Senior Editor Rebecca Bratek is preparing for election day by continuing to fine tune Factal’s ground-level source base, focusing on the safety and security incidents surrounding the politics. “We are seeing people engage more on the internet. We have to vet that.” Bratek says. ”We’re looking for people on the ground, people who are there.” #RiskIntelligence #USElection
