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 -
The likely scenario with rigging is that whoever is doing it can rig a certain amount, but not an unlimited amount. The fact that the wrong side wins doesn't disprove rigging, although it does disprove infinite-capacity rigging. This isn't Venezuela.
Also, if median-voter-theory applies then presumably every election you would need to rig harder than the previous one as the rigger party pushes more of its agenda and the alternative party adopts more of the rigger party agenda. So eventually you would naturally reach the rigger limit. But I guess the rigger limit would be reached faster due to variance caused by exceptional or poor candidates or miscalculations about the electorate.
