US Presidential Elections: Violence a risk without clear-cut U.S. election result, says former adviser Susan Rice

Without a decisive result in the November U.S. election, former U.S. national security adviser Susan Rice says there is a chance some groups could turn to violence.

"I hate to predict something like that, and I'm not going to do that. I do think that there is a risk that if there is a contested or manipulated election result that those on either or both sides may choose to resort to some forms of violence," Rice said Sunday on Cross Country Checkup.

Rice's comments follow news that authorities in Michigan foiled an alleged plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Six men face federal charges, with seven others charged under Michigan state laws.

U.S.Attorney Andrew Birge called the suspects, who have links to militia groups, "violent extremists."
