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 -
Rule by the far idiot, centralization, has advantages too. Or do you prefer to give all powers to your village elder?
Hard to see and control the far idiot, true, but the other side of the coin is, it is harder for him to see and control you. You might be more free with a more distant ruler. Anyway, my point is, it's not a clear-cut easy case either way, and in light of the costs of a brexit and separatism generally, the status quo should win by default.
