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 last item is a problem though. There is no recognized 2nd amendment right to murder drones, or even anti-murder-drone-drones or drone-jammers. That last will get you an FCC raid worse than any ATF dog-shoot competition.

If things take longer than a few more years to kick off, the 2nd amendment people will be using "bows and arrows against the lightning." The longer you wait the worse it gets, unless you happen to have a high tech weapons lab and global microelectronics manufacturing chain in your compound.

Yes, as if the good ol boys with some AR15s are a match for a wave of a literal million drones mass produced by some obsequious US ally for cheap and imported by the Pentagon.

Elites have been dreaming of technology that would make boots on the ground obsolete since the invention of artillery. Maybe one day it will happen, but hasn't happened yet.

Boots on the ground will never be useless, but they already are useless on their own, rather than as the base of an integrated weapons system.

There will still be human soldiers walking around, but anyone who tries to fight real ones without their own cloud of support weapons will be quickly incinerated.
