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 -
The data shows neither party is better or worse. Both support lots of government spending, which is good for the private sector . Healthcare stocks are a good investment regardless, owing to the tendency of Americans to get fatter and older ,which means more $ for healthcare paid for employer-sponsored coverage. Thus, healthcare stocks, especially health insurers, benefit both from two longstanding trends: corporations having record profits (some of which goes into health insurance) and Americans getting older and unhealthier , as well as more elective/unnecessary procedures. I don't see any of these trends changing.
