USA Election Day 2022 Megathread

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).

This is my real concern. It seems possible that Democrats have realized they can use their advantage in political activism and media bias to determine who the Republican candidates are going to be. I'm not sure how you can counter this, short of reforming the primary process.

The primary process has been undergoing a reformation. I've seen caucus states move to primaries and closed primaries moving towards open. So moving but not in the direction away from media involvement. In-party activism can be pretty effective within caucuses though.
