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 -
My wife specifically referred to "The loudest people" in her groups making themselves feel more important and representative than they actually are.
Breaking it down by race shows one small part of it, but when you include all women you see who was voting for Kamala despite how weak her candidacy and case was.
Trump's wins among non-white and college-educated people were almost all men.
I couldn't understand how abortion could be such a rallying cry among women. Sure, there are many analogs with gun control which I do obsess over, but at the end of the day this was people joined both celebrate and demand the ability to deal death to innocent life. Turns out it wasn't quite as strong as it seemed, which of course makes sense with 20/20 hindsight.
I doubt the harridan element would screech so loud if they were certain the consensus they were trying to build already existed. This concept extends out to Twitter space.
