Its an odd numbered year so any elections taking place are local. Nevertheless some of these elections are important.
These are local to me:
In PA, there is a vote to retain the terms of the Democratic PA state supreme court members. Normally this is a rubber stamp unless the judge has been doing something very bad, but this time millions have been dumped in the state to try and oust the three Democrats. This is unsurprising as they have voted against the GOP's Gerrymandering, support voting mail drop boxes, and a bunch of other ruling the GOP don't like.
Ironically, the opponents of these judges have only seemed to produce one ad and that was telling people to vote by mail against these judges. They did this right about the time Trump railed against voting by mail and signed a EO banning it. I've seen no other ad and its only claim against the judges is that the the Democrats "weaponized the courts against Trump!"
Haven't heard about many shennanigans but Chester county did manage to 'de-list' all the non-affiliated voters and they are allowing them to fill provisional ballots.
In New Jersey, the election is for the Governor in a surprisingly close race. Friends of mine voting over in that state have said things are running slow and there have been multiple bomb threats made against polling spots.
In New York of course the most famous election is for the mayor of NYC. We have a whole thread of the right-wing losing their everloving ◊◊◊◊ over the idea that Mamdani might be elected.
