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 -
"Yikes sweaty, let's unpack why this isn't a good look. Per these five key criteria, the fact-checkers have determined that this attempt at humour fails to meet the minimum threshold for a legitimate joke; ergo, you are a meany doo-doo head who's punching down at our brave POC kween with several million in the bank and a Secret Service detail." If I didn't know better, I would honestly think you were parodying a certain species of Reddit janny/Snopes editor/woke moderator. I came to the Motte in large part to escape this style of smarmy self-righteous scolding (which is to the modern internet as asbestos is to old buildings), and can't imagine I'm alone in that regard.
In any case, I don't care if you didn't appreciate my joke. Leave me alone.
You're the one who told me to "get lost" so don't act all persecuted. If you're here just because you can't be casually sexist somewhere else that's a bad reason. There's a massive gap between the woke police watching every comment for wrong-think, and regular users and mods simply wanting to keep the place from devolving into a reddit one-liners. I only ever responded because you wanted to die on the hill of wanting to keep your shitty one-line jokes instead of just moving on.
Are you capable in communicating in an idiom other than obnoxious Twitter-speak? I made a rather tame joke, you told me you didn't appreciate it, I didn't immediately capitulate - therefore this is a "hill" I want to "die on"? Pathetic.
