Thousands of anti-Trump protesters demanding a complete tally of the ballots in the still-undecided election take to the streets in cities across the US.
In Portland, Oregon, which has been a scene of regular protests for months, Gov. Kate Brown calls out the National Guard as demonstrators engage in what authorities say is widespread violence downtown, including smashing windows.
“It’s important to trust the process, and the system that has ensured free and fair elections in this country through the decades, even in times of great crisis,” Brown says in a statement. “We are all in this together.”

In New York, hundreds of people parade past boarded-up luxury stores on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue, and in Chicago, demonstrators march through downtown and along a street across the river from Trump Tower.
Similar protests are taking place in at least a half-dozen cities, including Los Angeles, Houston, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis and San Diego.
