Curious everyone's views on these various major events happening. Question will close end of January 2025 (events must have occured by then).
Will add more if any good suggestions. Will clarify any questions regarding how I will resolve any of these (if unclear). For the "if Trump wins" or "if Biden wins" questions, will resolve "n/a" if those don't happen.

1.00@JRR this has already occurred in Washington state.
“The southwest region of Washington state has already experienced specific instances of election-related unrest.”

@snazzlePop not quite. The question says "activated". The article says they are on "standby". If they are activated/deployed, then it would resolve "yes", but being on standby as a precaution does not satisfy.
I believe ‘activated’ is (at least nearly) synonymous with being ‘on standby,’ and certainly closer than being deployed.
More evidence that this has already occurred:
Denver, October 10, 2024 - Today Governor Polis issued an Executive Order activating members of the Colorado National Guard to join the Secretary of State in safeguarding crucial election infrastructure.
