“U.S. citizens on the island, however, have no vote in the November election.”
What is that supposed to mean? All US citizens can vote no matter where in the world they are and have gotten a ballot in.

Nope, if you are a citizen, but a legal resident of a US territory, rather than one of the several states or the District of Columbia, you don’t get to vote in the Presidential election, since your territory has no electoral votes.
It is a poorly worded sentence by our correspondent, probably a product of inferior public education. What they really meant was that US Citizens (nationals) who are residents of Guam have no voting rights in the federal election.
