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).

Is what he said untrue? It’s true that Dems claimed “democracy was on the ballot” because of people they helped nominate.

So either they didn’t believe democracy was on the line or they were willing to sacrifice democracy to gain a small electoral advantage.

We moderate more on tone than anything.

It might be true for someone to say "I think you are [an insult]". But we still moderate it because we don't want people hurling insults. The insults tend to hurt open discussion more than the truthiness of a statement. There are other people in this thread pointing out the same thing without being as antagonistic.
