WASHINGTON—The capital city is locking its doors as anticipation of election night violence builds. Plywood is the most common window decoration along many facades downtown, especially in the streets near the White House.

Extra fences have been erected around the White House to include Lafayette Park in its boundary, and several temporary sheds have been placed in the park, ostensibly for law enforcement to be staged.
