I do not research specific candidates because I am not a member of a party or vote in the primaries (which requires registering for the party). I do keep an eye out in the news in case the Republicans are trying to put some misleading state constitution amendment or other shenannigans on the ballot.
My state doesn't do the voter roll purges so I don't bother checking that, but will if they start.
I check to see when the early in person voting opens and go as soon as I am able. If that isn't possible due to scheduling, my voting location is only a few minutes away and there has never been a line. Either way I vote against every Republican candidate because the whole party is corrupt and I don't really need to know exactly how terrible each one is.
Then I go home and hope the rest of the country is smarter than my state as the best possible outcome seems to be a moderate Dem governor and a slight chance at a national level Dem Representative as the Republican party has a stranglehold on pretty much everything else at the state level.
