    How do absentee ballots work in the USA? I don't believe that there are any electors representing voters living abroad, so do they just tally your vote in the state you were born in? Lived in last?

    From the people I have talked to it is all about where you last were registered to vote.

    A useful tool I just found. This map on Pollster.com will update each time a news network calls the race for a candidate.

    EMFM, you get a ballot for the location where you are registered to vote, so you vote for the same national, state and local races as if you were at home and going to your polling place. That's how I voted when I was away at uni as I was registered at home, not at uni.
