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 -
Because, due to the Constitution, each state is essentially in charge of its own election. Some of the state governments are incompetent (or potentially corrupt) and take forever to count the votes.
It's not really that hard, of course. Florida counted all the votes in a couple hours.
But it would be impossible for the federal government to impose standards on all 50 states unless there was some constitutional issue at stake like racial discrimination. And, given that it's now become a partisan issue, Democrats seem to think that loose practices give them an advantage so it's a non-starter anyway.
