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 -
Election Fortification post II:
Precinct in Milwaukee, WI had seals discovered broken on 15 out of 16 tabulator machines. They cancelled out the votes from the machines and retabulated all of the 30,000 ballots.
Location in Centre County, PA was evacuated due to a bomb threat.
Problem from earlier post in Harris County, TX has received a comment from a County Clerk that the difference in numbers was due to an "Alignment' issue.
I haven't seen a convincing explanation of what happened, but Burlington County in NJ have had 3+ hour waits, causing some to give up.
Hopefully no further updates.
It's significantly worse than that: Half were discovered defeated but not broken. With a tiny bit more effort, an attacker could have hidden the evidence that they accessed the machines.
How hard is it to select a tamper-evident seal that actually makes it evident when it is tampered with?
It can be shockingly difficult when dealing with intelligent adversaries.
