I&#x27;m an expat, and the quoted statement is nonsense. I&#x27;m eligible to vote in the US with an absentee ballot, and I have a congressional district based on my last address in the US. Certainly my representative doesn&#x27;t particularly care, because there aren&#x27;t that many of us living abroad, but to say I&#x27;m therefore without representation is no different than saying I&#x27;m without representation as an Atheist (my voting district is in the deep south).
