  For Americans living abroad, it's not too late to vote -- go to www.votefromabroad.org and register to vote and request an absentee ballot!
  
  For assistance with voting, please feel free to contact help@votefromabroad.org
  
  The most critical election in a generation is less than 2 months away. This election will determine if we continue to move America forward, or we move backward. Democrats need our votes more than ever.
  
  Overseas votes will determine whether Senator Boxer (D-CA) wins reelection; whether Tarryl Clark (MN-06) beats Michele Bachmann and whether Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15), Jim Himes (CT-04) and Scott Murphy (NY-20) can once again count on the winning votes cast by our members.

  Poor, poor Democrats. Democratic-controlled Congress has voted consistently against the will of the American people (don't believe me? Check the polls on any major piece of legislation forced through in the last 20 months), and now they're gonna take the beating they so richly deserve.
  
  By all means, register to vote in November, get your absentee ballot and send it in, but these jokers certainly don't deserve your vote.

  Boxer versus Carly Fiorina (sp?) is the epitome of "hold your nose and vote for the least sickening".

  Just a quick question about that site to request your absentee ballot...
  
  They ask an awful lot of personal information questions (yes, I understand they need to determine you are who you say you are) but how safe is it to give them that information via the internet?
  
  I want to vote, but am a little worried about sending that information to a place I'm not sure of. Has anyone used this service? How confident are you that your information is safe?
  
  Not looking to start an argument, just need some reassurance.

  There are a bunch of sites that do exactly the same thing, but with less intrusive questions. Here's one: https://www.overseasvotefoundation.org/

  I would contact your local board of elections. I did.  Had a reply and confirmation within 5 minutes.

  What's so critical about it? Both candidates have the same economic and foreign policy. Neither of the candidates are going to do something about the deficit. Either way your country is heading for bankruptcy or a collapse of the dollar.

   

  EDIT: Wrong elections. Damn these posts are old
