Forever 21, Tiffany, CVS, Target and Macy's are among some of the retail chains that have boarded-up their stores' windows.
While other businesses say they have beefed up security, in anticipation of protest nation-wide.
“While we intend to remain open where possible, out of an abundance of caution the windows of select stores in key cities will be boarded in anticipation of potential election related activity,” said Nathan Strauss, spokesperson for luxury jewellery retailer Tiffany.
