Yahoo article - "U.S. Expat Voters Out in Record Numbers in Germany"
Times UK article - "Americans abroad flock to vote in cliffhanger election"
Not only have American Democrats been GOTV in full force; seems our brothers and sisters abroad are also. According to the Times article, expats usually vote Republican 3 to 1, but Democrats Abroad in London, an arm of the Democratic Party, has registered 200,000 expats since the last election and is overwhelmed with new registration requests.
Seems like civilians are singing up in droves, potentially offsetting the military vote. Although I would think Bush is getting reduced support from our women and men in uniform this election. If we're in the unfortunate position of waiting for overseas votes to come in this go 'round, we don't have to fear them being all for Bush.
For the Republican's part, Dan Quayle gave a campaign speech in Berlin. Probably driving more voters to our side. Although Germans love the vocal stylings of David Hasslehoff, so who knows?
A friendly reminder email to an overseas friend/expat (maybe accompanied by a Bush flip-flop list or a link to dailykos) couldn't hurt.
