Department of Homeland Security issued a series of reports between July and September about a rising threat of extremist violence tied to the 2024 presidential election.

The reports describe efforts by violent groups to provoke attacks against election infrastructure and spread calls for the assassinations of lawmakers and law enforcement agents.

DHS alerted dozens of agencies this summer to online chatter indicating potential attacks on election drop boxes.

The arrests and prosecutions of rioters involved in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol building are credited by DHS with stifling much of the enthusiasm far-rights groups once held for turning out in big numbers.
