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.

Jump in the discussion.

I mean, it has to be Tom Eagleton, right?

McGovern kinda has the same problem jeroboam brings for McCain, except more so. Not only was McGovern losing in polls (by double digits!) before he picked up Eagleton, he only picked Eagleton after pretty much every popular federal Dem politician refused the bid, and Eagleton himself didn't seem to want it much.

I'd like to point to Breckinridge, but I guess that's a different sort of campaign blunder, and he did at least win the first election though, thankfully, not the war.
