It's a blessing that Trump's dour mood seems to be keeping him from speaking publicly too much. He's really the person who amps up his supporters - his proxies just don't have that kind of connection with them.
If things are going to get out of hand at any of the polling stations, today and tomorrow are the most likely times. People still have to work, but Friday nights and Saturdays are are ripe for people doing stupid things. Think about the size of your average entertainment district crowd on a Friday night, then imagine them all directing their anger towards one building.
Honestly, I'm still stunned about how smoothly it's gone so far, so there's good reason to be optimistic this won't happen - or won't be sizable - but it seems to me that if it's going to happen, it will be in the next couple of days.
