Hot take. You shouldn't be able to vote for changes somewhere you don't live.
That might be just fine if they weren't subject to taxation, state department policies, IRS reporting requirements. It takes ten years to fully escape the US government and the clock only starts when you get some other citizenship.
Fair.
This is a crime. The GOP are advocating disenfranchisement, which is a criminal act. They are pushing to commit additional crimes against Americans.
Everything they do is a crime.
In its Arizona lawsuit, the RNC claims that allowing overseas non-resident voters to cast ballots "inflicts a competitive injury" on both the state and national GOP by adding to the state's voter rolls "individuals who are disproportionately non-Republican in their partisan affiliations."
Well that's pretty self explanatory
I'm not worried. Democrats will compromise and count 3/5th of votes from overseas.
Literally politicians picking their voters.
They told us to leave if we dont like it here and are angry that we are doing it and still have influence in elections, plus you cant gerrymander another country
The whole thing is so transparent. Ever since he realized that mail-in ballots are more likely to vote democrat, way back when, and made a big stink about it because he thought he won already and somebody took it away from him!!!
And somehow all his toddler temper tantrums have become national policy now, or some sort of political discourse defended by his followers, and we have to take it seriously.
The Proving Residency for Overseas Voter Eligibility, or PROVE, Act would require overseas voters to have a "current residence" in the state they're registered, or a spouse, parent or guardian with such a residence.
Fuck all the way off. You make me file taxes every year. You have rules that make investing for my retirement much more difficult because of PFICs. Your asinine IRS rules stop foreign banks and brokerages for even wanting to touch US citizens. You want me to not vote? Do what the rest of the world (minus I think 1 country) does and drop all that shit.
No taxation without representation.
