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 -
DeWine's not great, but he's not going to put Ramaswamy in Congress without a literal boatload of money and a muzzle on Vivek in exchange. The man's just too hilariously malleable, and for all DeWine's many partisan faults, he's gotta be aware that Ramaswamy'll start biting as soon as he hits the top of the ladder.
In other environments, I'd say Dolan -- he's the sort of moderate-ish-righty that DeWine likes, ran reasonably strongly against Moreno in the primary season, and otherwise has pretty much Extruded Centrist Republican Product bonafides along with looking like an extra from Modern Family -- but that contested primary bites both ways. I don't know how well he or Moreno would play as co-senators, I know DeWine doesn't want to appoint someone who's likely to lose in 2026 (when the seat next comes up), and infighting is one of the surest ways for both seats to charlie foxtrot, especially with current state politics being the mess they are.
LaRose is kinda the split-baby option, a little more professional than Moreno, a little more Trumpy than Dolan. Worse bet as a ruler, better bet as someone staying in rule.
