I voted absentee once. It was the general election in 2000 (FL). I knew I was going overseas around the time of the election, so I wanted to make sure my vote counted.
Stayed up until around 3am election night. Screw it, I’d find out in the morning.
Left for the UK the next afternoon. I’d know when I got there, I’m sure the local papers will have coverage.
I ended up following the election in the English versions of newspapers in five different countries. You’d think there were tanks in the streets the way they described it.
