Yup, came here to say the same thing. Most people who haven&#x27;t lived abroad for a significant amount of time don&#x27;t realize the difficulty of trying to vote. In addition to that, the effectiveness of getting your voice heard by your &quot;representatives&quot; (the reps from your last permanent residence in the US) is much more difficult. I used to be able to pick up my phone and get myself heard on issues that I cared about. Living abroad, the best you can hope for is to contact your rep online and hope they care enough to give you a copy-pasted response.
