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.

The swing state polls seem accurate to within the claimed 2-3 percent. From an electoral college perspective, the accuracy of FL or NJ is less crucial when they're assumed to be a solid lock for one party. It does make for surprising upsets in some places occasionally.

I'm significantly more concerned about the monodirectional bias of the error.

Yep, shy Tory effect is back.

It was just hibernating during Covid.
