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 -
Insofar as voting early is a conscious, voluntary decision then I would say we can expect the person casting the early vote to have concluded that they have seen enough to make up their mind and that (almost) nothing would change it, so they accept that they can't alter their vote once submitted.
For me, though, I get some extra utility from physically seeing my ballot deposited in a box on the day of the election. Genuinely hard for me to accept the idea that my ballot could sit in a mailroom or 'secure' box somewhere for more than a few hours, and still believe it couldn't have been tampered with.
