Retailers including Nordstrom, Tiffany and Saks are planning to board up their windows or add extra security personnel in some of their locations ahead of the contentious presidential election on Tuesday. The moves come as retailers are trying to protect themselves against looting or other civil unrest in a year that has seen widespread protests over social justice that sometimes became violent. According to one measure, more than 600 locations, particularly Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C., have put in work orders to board up windows or add related security measures in advance of the election, according to ServiceChannel, which connects retailers with contractors that do such work.
