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 -
Yes. There's no difference between 268 and 0 EVs (barring faithless electors, which mattered exactly once). But there's a big difference between the winner of the popular vote winning or not winning the general election. Especially since the electoral college structurally favors voters from less-populous states, and also encourages catering to the whims of voters that live in specifically swing states. It's no mystery why MI-NC-NV haven't passed it.
Republican states naturally won't sign onto it while they still have the structural EC advantage that gave them Dubya's and Trump's first terms, but I could see texas and maybe even florida eventually signing on if the presidential meta remains "cater as hard as possible to midwestern suburbanites."
