U.S. Election (Day?) 2024 Megathread

With apologies to our many friends and posters outside the United States... it's time for another one of these! Culture war thread rules apply, and you are permitted to openly advocate for or against an issue or candidate on the ballot (if you clearly identify which ballot, and can do so without knocking down any strawmen along the way). "Small-scale" questions and answers are also permitted if you refrain from shitposting or being otherwise insulting to others here. Please keep the spirit of the law--this is a discussion forum!--carefully in mind.

If you're a U.S. citizen with voting rights, your polling place can reportedly be located here.

If you're still researching issues, Ballotpedia is usually reasonably helpful.

Any other reasonably neutral election resources you'd like me to add to this notification, I'm happy to add.

The AG has a lot of power to go after individuals in the state. So if a dangerous nutter starts gaining steam in a major party primary it's easy for a better tempered opponent to raise money against them. People on both sides face risk so the other primary candidates can get funding from people who normally wouldn't donate.

Also voters usually just want someone polished and respectable to be AG. There's less demand for someone ideological.

Laughs in Ken Paxton.
