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).

What sort of evidence would you accept?
Forcing local cheesemongers only selling their cheese locally to use metric weights and sending trading standards after the non-compliant or is that only cheese vassalage?
Well we got input into what the rules were through a legal process, which the UK government freely entered into (and was able to leave), so if the UK was an EU vassal then every voter is a vassal of their own government at which point it's usage is so broad as to be worthless.
Indeed arguably internal political subdivisions like counties and states are more akin to vassals than the UK-EU relationship ever was, but people don't typically say that Staffordshire is the vassal of the UK government because it doesn't make a lot of sense in a modern context. It's a political and rhetorical stratagem. A good one admittedly.
