    What do Americans who don’t live in a Us state do?

      I didnt vote. I went to the embassy and the guards nearly attacked me. I asked about voting and they made me wait outside for half an hour, then gave me a business card for a generic website that was useless.

      They want you to vote by mail, but I don’t live in a country like Germany. If I sent something over snail mail, there’s a 99.9% chance it wouldn’t get delivered.

      Meanwhile Canadians vote online. The US isn’t a democracy.

      They vote by absentee ballot in the last state they used to live in.

      Unless they moved from a state to Puerto Rico (or other US territory?), in which case they don’t get to vote for President anymore.
