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.

Notes -
Busy day at my local poll mines! I was at the polling station a bit after 8am and there had already been over 200 voters this morning. There remains something wonderfully non-cynical about everyone going to the voting booths on election day, secure in the knowledge that they can vote their conscience without fear of reprisal. I am in a deep, deep blue city and it's all civic good cheer here.
I couldn’t agree more. Even going last week in a Texas suburb, it was bustling. Local candidates out campaigning. An actual presence from both parties. And, of course, the powerful “I voted!” Sticker. Whoever thought of that was a genius.
Which sticker?
Mine was round, the middle third taken up by a white bar stating “I ✅oted!” Above the bar, stars, with stripes below.
But any will do. It’s the civic religion of it that matters!
Mine was a unicorn shitting glitter or something.
I really, really hate it.
