Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

With my mail-in ballot I had to spread it out over the course of two days, and that’s with skipping the judges section. I can’t imagine going and voting in-person without either skipping 75% of the ballot or researching beforehand and coming in with a cheat sheet.
You say "cheat sheet" like it's a bad thing.
Unless you are intimately familiar with your entire world of politics, I would expect you (and everyone else) to spend a little time researching them all. Depending on how many contested races there are and how nuanced your votes, this could take between an hour and a week.
Countless people bring their cheat sheet (mine was officially called "literature" when I voted recently, despite just being a sample ballot I had filled out). Both parties hand out a professionally printed version right outside polling places.
Sorry, I meant no negative connotation but I can see how it can be interpreted that way.
