Today, 2 November 2020, one day before the Election Day.  And most of the stores have been boarded again.  Why? What do stores need to protect themselves from? Is an unknown hurricane coming? Or what?

This is the first time I have seen boarded stores before an Election Day.

Don’t know what to say. Is it scary or sad?
