Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Yup. They can vote - for a while anyway!
Though I do recall that lots of over-seas service members didn't have their votes counted (too labor intensive, wouldn't change the results, arrived late, etc., etc.). Dunno if my memory is faulty about that though...

Cheers,
Scott.
New Well, as long as you are a citizen
States are required to let expats vote. Your voting state is the last state you lived in, even if you don't plan on coming back.

Some states allow expats to vote in local elections as well.

You can be responsible for requesting your ballot as not all states will send it; there is also a federal emergency ballot if you don't get your real one in time.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New It's scary how much you've looked into this... :-/
New More somewhat idle curiosity than anything
I knew you could vote as an expat from previous reading, but the above information is from a 30 second Google to reply to your post. :-)

There's a lot that goes into moving out of the country, not the least of which is how it affects one's children. Plus, in the worst case scenario (Trump or Cruz as President with a blow-out Republican congress), from a simple safety aspect staying in the country may be be best, sad as that seems.

New Re: More somewhat idle curiosity than anything
I mentioned this earlier, but can't find it quickly. A different linky is below.

Bobcat Goldthwait:

"My favorite Barry Crimmins joke is, 'People say Barry if you don't love America why don't you leave it?' He says, 'Because I don't want to be a victim of its foreign policies," Goldthwait recalls in the "Meet the Artist '15" video for Sundance.


There's some truth to that... :-/

Cheers,
Scott.
New Indeed.
