NEW YORK – Many businesses in New York City remained boarded Thursday up as tension remains high after Election Night with votes still being counted to determine who  will be the next President of the United States.  Business owners still remain on edge with potential election unrest.

Businesses are apparently not taking chances, and are  bracing for any potential looting or unrest since the presidency results still hang in the balance.  Many remember the widespread looting of businesses after the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis back in May.
