This is all so widespread that is impossible to cover everywhere the protests are happening so they will focus on the bigger cities.

The whole nation is experiencing civil unrest. It’s not limited to the big cities.

Since the entire country is protesting, peaceful protests are probably not getting picked up in the national media.

Fear in the cities will take over. The three cities, which are majority democratic blocks of voters will be messed with the week before the election - "riots", "vandalism", "large demonstrations", masterfully orchestrated. Then swoosh, martial law, federal troops, and before governors can react and people clamoring for Trump to call in the military, guess what happens -- people in these cities are afraid and do not vote and the three states go in the Republican column. Game over.
