Tuesday November 8, 2022 is Election Day in the United States of America. In addition to Congressional "midterms" at the federal level, many state governors and other more local offices are up for grabs. Given how things shook out over Election Day 2020, things could get a little crazy.
...or, perhaps, not! But here's the Megathread for if they do. Talk about your local concerns, your national predictions, your suspicions re: election fraud and interference, how you plan to vote, anything election related is welcome here. Culture War thread rules apply, with the addition of Small-Scale Questions and election-related "Bare Links" allowed in this thread only (unfortunately, there will not be a subthread repository due to current technical limitations).

Notes -
If I understand everything correctly, the whole thing is tied up in court at the moment over what was seized at Mar-A-Lago. The court-appointed special master is still reviewing everything to decide what Trump gets back as part of his personal effects and what the FBI gets to use as evidence in any criminal prosecutions that may move forward. I think once the legal minutia gets settled, the press will start reporting those decisions and it'll get headlines again.
Not everything is tied up.
The DoJ won an appeal at the 5th circuit to get the classified documents specifically.
Many people are expecting an indictment shortly after the election because of the DoJ rules proscribing indictments around an election.
