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.

Notes -
I consider most elections to have a lot of fraud in them, not just because of the sheer size of the populace but also because of the fact that humans cheat. The idea that there are totally fair elections always seemed bogus to me, does not mean that it is all fraudulent but that there are plenty of ways to cheat, whether long term (evm hacking, booth capturing, not asking for id) or long term (demographic shifts like in California or West Bengal).
The cathedral needs both sides to believe that the electoral process and the judiciary are these pristine unquestionable things that are keeping us together, safe from a chaotic world whereas reality could not be further apart.
No matter who wins, election legitimacy cannot be challenged, if half the country explicitly does so and refuses to partake in elections, it will lead to actual chaos, good or bad, I cant tell for now. Because if you can prove that there is enough voter fraud this time, you can start questioning previous elections and a lot more.
