Could you imagine if Canada sought to influence the US election by sending our best comedians their way?

Don't think for a moment that we haven't actually already been trying this, for decades.

My sister-in-law is going to love THAT!

She and her sister's mom is from Calgary.

They keep saying they should be allowed to vote in BOTH elections.

Yes, U.S. territories.

Don't you know what those are?

@beckyromero: US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, etc. But soldiers from a US STATE, can and do vote.

And here's what I said:

[quote]American citizens living abroad have their ballots counted in their State (or Washington D.C.) of last residency all the time.

Ironically, however, that does NOT apply if you're an American who moves from a State or Washington D.C. to Puerto Rico, Guam, America Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands or the Northern Mariana Islands.[/quote]

They can't vote in federal elections.

In other words, say a U.S. navy captain born in Texas living in Virginia is transfered next year from Norfolk to Guam and moves there with his U.S. born wife and their 18-year old daughter. The captain and his wife voted in the 2016 presidential election. They and their daughter, however, would be prohibited by law from voting in the 2020 federal elections.

If, however, they are transfered to the U.S. naval base in Naval Station Rota in Spain, they can legally vote in the U.S. presidential election as U.S. citizens living abroad. Their presidential vote will be counted as an absentee ballot in the state of Virginia (where they were last registered to vote).

Military personnel and their family members who are U.S. citizens of voting age do NOT have that option when they no longer official reside in a U.S. State (or DC) and have moved their residency to a U.S. territory.

Same applies for ANY U.S. citizen who moves to a U.S. terrority.

If you move from New York to Puerto Rico, you can no longer vote for president. If you move from New York to Toronto, Canada, you CAN.

So, ironically, Snowden can actually vote as a U.S. citizen living abroad - because he is living in a FOREIGN COUNTRY (Russia) - and not living in a U.S. territory.

Well sure... but, most Canadians aren't really that funny, so it's a low risk proposition

Hollywood and the entertainment industry has been trying since the late 40's to the early 50's due to the McCarthy era to influence politics. The culture wars have been active going on roughly 72 years or so, getting more heated with each passing decade.

@RemovedUsername329422 That cunt needs to shut her god damned mouth, along with Colbert, John Oliver, and Noah Trevor, or whatever his fucking name is.

@NativeOregonian: For the past couple of years, I’ve been “amused” by the number of late night talk show hosts, that left their home country to come to America to make it big by bashing American politics? What? They couldn’t make their fortune in their home country by bashing their own leaders? That seems rather “odd”??
