"The island's residents, while US citizens, cannot vote in November's presidential election."

Why this?

**spravka.ua** · 05-04-2008, 04:18 PM

Also, the Electoral College is completely insane.

**Avgustslim** · 05-04-2008, 05:22 PM

It's not a state.

Why this? Only residents of the 50 states get to vote in nation elections (each territory does have a non-voting member of the house). In exchange, US citizens that are residents of US territories don't have to pay federal taxes.

DC is a federal district, not a US territory, that has three votes for the president.

**agrismhig** · 05-04-2008, 10:17 PM

They had to work the Kaiser in there somehow.

**inofindy** · 05-05-2008, 01:05 AM

Interesting. Why then don't they let France vote too?

**scewDeasp** · 05-05-2008, 02:42 AM

American citizens in France can vote. There are several delegates representing Americans abroad. People from Guam live under American sovereignty, and are American citizens. Why shouldn't they have representation in the Democratic Party?

**Chubrehege** · 05-05-2008, 03:31 AM

I have no problem allowing the French to vote for French politicians.
