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 -
This is just so far beyond parody that I can't handle it.
Katie Hobbs, who refused to debate or engage with the campaign in any meaningful way, is also in charge of running the election and now immediately in the morning the system that she (yes, she, since she is literally tasked with it) set up is collapsing.
And while all of this is happening, she is asking for a promotion. Insanity.
It does seem like candidates shouldn't be able to run their own elections.
But I don't recall people on the right having a problem with Brian Kemp as secretary of state overseeing his election to governor.
Maybe this can become a cross-party issue?
Ken Paxton and the rest of the Texas GOP establishment made a lot of noise about election security in Houston, to the point of sending task forces. Significant or not, this is a category where I wish the perception of interference was career-ending.
