I do wonder if they do not live in the United States why would they vote in the United States?
It is rather a huge system. It has to be. Imagine if the system had to approve or disapprove each vote. We voted early. It took, or should take far longer to study the issues, and who you choose to vote for compared to the time to get to the poll show your IDENTIFICATION, prove you are a citizen, you are who you are, you are ALIVE etc

I know a couple who has lived out of the country for 28 years in the EU and works as contractors for military, and they say quote "they would rather stay there when then retire, than come back" and they sadly get to vote. When other than receiving government funds they do not participate in American life. I find it very sad and un American.
