I heard they dont even count
absentee votes.
My vote doesnt matter, Im from
New York.
All ballots that are legally cast must be counted. It is merely a myth that ballotscast from absentee voters are not counted
One of the reasons why each states Secretary of State certifies their states
elections at the end of November or early December is that they are busy
counting a processing the votes of military and absentee voters that may havearrived after election day.
Whos knows what can change over the next 6 months
Congressional races are close
We want to create and Israel Bloc of100,000 voters, to send the messagethat Israeli voters are a group to reckon with

I dont feel comfortable voting in an
election of a country that I no longer
live in.
The next President will have a more profound, direct and immediate effect onyour lives (safety, security) than any other American around the globe. JoeSchmo in Montana goes out to vote every election, even though the identityof the next president will barely impact his life - how can you not?
