They can vote “in theory”, but probably not. U.S. Citizens of Puerto Rico, the US Vigin Islands, Guam, and other territories do not vote. Only citizens resident in the States and DC can vote. So, an overseas citizen would either have to maintain a residence or have recent ties to a State. I think a lot of these overseas citizens have their citizenship by accident or because their parents were citizens, but have not lived in the US. They should not be able to vote.
I think you are so right with what you said. I had not thought of the strategy to put refugees in red states.
I want to be there when Soros' head rolls.
It’s not that they ought not be able to vote, it’s that they literally can’t if there is no state in which they’re resident. There is no popular vote, there is no place to count these votes outside of state elections.
There are a lot of retirees also living abroad, especially in third world tropical locales with lower cost of living. Even if there are legitimately 8 million American ex-pats living abroad, Trump will likely get a good share of those. Not all those who chose to reside overseas are leftists. There are several Freepers who live abroad by choice (not for military service).
Every night I pray for cancers to besiege Soros.
We can store those ballots next to the military ballots that aren’t going to get counted, either.
Soros’ family runs the show.
They can register 20 million globalists as long as they reside in blue states. Electoral College is what counts and I do think Trump will prevail.
Heck, they could make a movie out of it somewhere down the road.
The irony: a lot of these people live abroad because they feel no loyalty to this country.
That’s the paradox of liberalism: These people want a laxer society, but a laxer society inevitably breeds apathy & selfishness. These people are too busy doing their own thing to care. The same thing happened in 18th Century France, Tsarist Russia, Weimar Germany. This pattern of amorality can be traced all the way to Rome.
Do they still pay income tax through their last state of residence or are they exempt of they leave the country for long enough?
“Keep it up and we will have another French Revolution.”
I honestly think a revolution/civil war is our only hope - if it happens soon. Us older folk who remember the Constitution, founding fathers, and the way America used to be need to be around for the rebuilding.
