The only conclusion I can draw from Craig's inside information is that I
should vote for Nader, or perhaps the USCP if it still exists. I could
also write in my wife, she is native-born and thus eligible to be Prez.

All this assuming I go through the hazzle of registering as an overseas
voter, which involves mailing or faxing an application for an absentee
ballot to Mercer County, NJ (the last place I lived in the U.S.),
receiving the ballot by snail mail and mailing it back to them. It is
amazing to me that they have not moved this process online.
