Murals have been hand painted on pieces of plywood boarding that cover the glass on storefronts. Some businesses are worried about possible unrest similar to what the city experienced over the summer.

Around 3 p.m., a crowd of around at least a few hundred had gathered in Black Lives Matter Plaza.

Amid boarded-up downtown businesses and increased “anti-scale” fencing around the White House, D.C. is prepped for what is expected to be a tumultuous finale to the 2020 presidential election Tuesday.

By 3 p.m., a crowd had already started to gather at Black Lives Matter Plaza, in front of the White House and the new security fencing.

WTOP’s Alejandro Alvarez walked around the newly enforced fencing around the White House. Alvarez reported that parts of the fencing had posters on it warning against ticket scalping and underage drinking.

More thick metal fencing went up overnight, said to be scale-proof and enveloping the rest of the White House grounds that weren’t already walled off by the Lafayette fence. Swallows a stretch of the sidewalk on 15th 17th and Constitution. pic.twitter.com/S4X5HsVnwf
