If anyone wants to know how voting while abroad works for Americans, the answer is that you fill out a nice, easy federal form online and simply email it to the district where you’re registered so that they can ignore you, and then when you try to double-check your voter registration to see if there’s been some mistake, the government of Massachusetts blocks your IP for malicious activity and sends you an email accusing you of being a hacker.

It’s a good thing that the absolutely unhinged method of counting presidential votes means that my blue vote in Massachusetts is statistically insignificant anyway, because my emotional capacity to deal with this burned out before I reached “get the ambassador to the Netherlands and the governor of Massachusetts on the line”
