With gun sales soaring, unprecedented polarization and repeated triggering from President Donald Trump about the potential lack of legitimacy of election results, I'll be looking for signs of coordinated voter suppression, intimidation and even the possibility of disruption at polling places. As returns are reported, I'll be focused on Trump's tweets and Justice Department statements about voter irregularities, litigation and fraud, and especially the President's cueing and signaling to his base about preparation for a serious effort at contestation. As Varys said about Littlefinger in "Game of Thrones," "He would see this country burn if he could be king of the ashes."

This analysis was originally published in CNN.
