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).

You notice how no other big corporations in Florida have decided to make any sort of major fuss about Florida's legislative actions, yes?

No, no I don't. Many did more than Disney, most did about the same. The only difference was that DeSantis didn't have a big, shiny, public spectacle of a stick to bash Starbucks or Lululemon with; it just wouldn't have the same impact to deny a new Starbucks zoning approval or confiscate a Lululemon parking lot or whatever.

That you think that Disney was the only corporation that opposed it publicly is the result of the media spotlight, primarily created by DeSantis' actions against RCID.

Name a single instance of a corporation in in Florida publicly opposing a Desantis measure after the passage of the bill to dissolve the RCID.

This is silly since you ostensibly know that your posted story is from March, and the bill was signed on April 22nd.

Has there been any Florida Corporations speaking out against Desantis since April 2022?

Did Desantis pass another parental rights in education bill after April? If so I apologize, I wasn't aware of it.
