So their votes would be counted with the votes from that state. There wouldn't be any "bloc" of expat voters, so it would be hard to see how they could swing the vote unless there were enough of them from a key state<br />to change the electoral votes of that state. If that happened, you can bet we'd see a change in the rules for absentee voters.Katherine Nielsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309113327087187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315362208709650810.post-32156207816604144702017-03-19T14:15:35.800-04:002017-03-19T14:15:35.800-04:00Sorry, Margaret.
