USA Election Day 2022 Megathread

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).

Does it change your mind that DradisPing already said the source of their claim was their recollection?

No. I recollect all kinds of shit vaguely, then search through and find a source. Sometimes I'm right after that, sometimes I'm wrong. But not sourcing it in one comment certainly doesn't mean there is no source.

I, also, find this kind of "tagging someone below to talk shit on them" top level post to be rude. If it happens occasionally, fine, but don't do it all the time.

That said, I have to laugh at the replies you get that are like "Fine @ymeshkout, do your evil lawyer things [like research and rhetoric], just because you have the better argument doesn't mean you're right!"

But not sourcing it in one comment certainly doesn't mean there is no source.

I agree with this. The reason I chose to highlight DradisPing's claim is that it was central to their thesis about Maricopa County up to some bullshit again. Maybe the thesis remains true, but it's still fair game to point out that someone's core premise appears faulty. I don't think I'm asking too much of people here: if you want to post an argument, it's not unreasonable to expect people to do some very basic homework first.
