A few last-minute bits of voting information
Here are a few links to useful information for when you (Americans) go to vote tomorrow, regardless of who you're voting for.
State-by-state breakdown of your legal rights, as an employee, to exercise your right to vote. Many states require employers to give employees time off to vote.
Find out what ID you need to bring to the polls in this handy state-by-state guide. A fishing license is considered legal ID to vote in my state, omg Alaska, wtf :D. Very Important Edit: New voters always need to bring ID, regardless of where they live; I'm very sorry if I passed along misinformation! And even if ID is not required in your state, it is probably a good idea to bring it if you have it, just in case.
Here is a very useful, non-partisan guide to "vote flipping" (when electronic machines register your vote inaccurately) and what you should do about it to make sure that your vote goes to your chosen candidate.
State-by-state poll opening and closing times from Ballotpedia.
If you just moved or registered and you're not sure where to vote, find (or confirm) your polling place on GoVote.org.
Voter Suppression Wiki has a useful list of printable voting resources on a variety of topics.
Here is a list of links to each state's division of elections website for obsessive checking of your local polling results on Tuesday night.
Finally, just for fun and history, an article from the New Yorker on how much worse our voting system used to be. Long lines are bad, but at least it's no longer necessary to fight your way to the polls through an armed mob ...
Edited to add: 1-866-OUR-VOTE, the hotline of the non-partisan Election Protection coalition, is a number to memorize before you go to the polls and to call if you experience any hassles or problems voting, or see anyone else being hassled or blocked from voting.
