U.S. Election (Day?) 2024 Megathread

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.

Yeah, and what's crazy is that white women didn't even swing that much more towards Harris.

The idea that abortion is some killer issue for Dems is overblown. Most people are somewhere on the middle on abortion, and actually a lot closer to Trump's position than to Harris's.

Killing a fetus with a heartbeat and recognizable fingers seems very wrong to a lot of people. And women will naturally feel the greatest revulsion. The Dems had a winning formula with "safe, legal, rare". They threw it all away for "shout your abortion" and other insanities.

The idea that abortion is some killer issue for Dems is overblown.

I think that the whole - it is a states issue finally penetrated into the thinner side of the thicker skulls. As in - I can fight in my state. Which makes local politics higher stake, but national lower.
