(08-20) 10:57 PDT MEXICO CITY (AP) --

President Bush's young, Hispanic nephew and his bride are on the campaign trail -- in Mexico, where they are joining the increasingly vigorous battle for the votes of 1 million U.S. citizens living south of the border.

George Prescott Bush -- whose father is Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and mother, Columba, is originally from Mexico -- was arriving late Friday for a four-day tour in support of his uncle's re-election campaign. The trip was paid for by the political nonprofit Republicans Abroad.

The campaign for Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry also is courting American voters in Mexico -- and relying on family to deliver the message. Diana Kerry, chairman of Americans Overseas for Kerry, came to Mexico City in July to stump for her brother.

1 million U.S. citizens living south of the border?

So where do they vote?

If they reside in mexico, how can they vote here?

[rawhide]

Absentee ballot. Happens all the time.

[WhiteGuy]

So if I move to some awful stinky place like Mexico or Kentucky or god-forbid, michigan, I can keep voting here in The Great State of OH-IO?

You can, depending on what state laws say.
Some require you to be a resident of the state, some
require you to reside in the state and there _is_ a difference.

But you cannot vote in both states.

Just think, within the next 12~20 years, the candidates will only have to make a few speeches at the UN before one is finally appointed by the central committee Security Council. The rest of us will be out of the loop, but it'll be very efficient and save a lot of money.
