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 -
Politcio has started off their election day coverage with a tweet that's enraging Republicans....

The flip from "election deniers" to "legitimately and patriotically questioning the election" is going to be fun to watch and compare.
It's already happened - with a registered Democrat arrested for trying to interfere with a voting machine.
But it's ok! Even when it's registered Democrats doing the meddling, it's the fault of the Republicans for their conspiracy theories of Democratic meddling.
That is good. This means that people can't hack election infrastructure without detection and we have nothing to worry about. Hopefully no one will make any claims to the contrary.
Unless the machines are connected to any sort of network, in which case all bets are off.
