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 -
So what do you guys think was up with trumps big announcement tonight? The music started playing, he looked off in the distance in contemplation for an uncomfortable minute, made a pretty good soliloquy speech then announced that he will make a big announcement at Mar Lago on the 15th. Stating that he did not want to detract from the candidates running for election tomorrow.
Did he change his mind on a run for presidency at the last minute?
Did he personally change his mind last minute to move his presidential announcement?
Was he told to stand down by someone in the party?
Was this all some scripted thing to get the MAGA vote for tomorrow?
I think it must have been something last minute because making a half-ass announcement like that is burning some credibility, as well as a wasted opportunity to be the first to maneuver and scare off his political rivals in the GOP. I'm really confused by the political strategy for this blown announcement thing.
All my Red Team friends are praying he's announcing he will back down and endorse DeSantis. Maybe a little too optimistic.
