Tl;dr: while there are certainly many concerns about violence in the wake of the election, research shows that the likelihood for it is not very high. Based upon the indicators from other countries and our own, the possibility is not non-existent, but it isn't very likely that there will be election violence like some people are fearing.
I've always been of the opinion that election results related violence fears were overblown. It's the post election actions causing violence that I'm most concerned about.
