The rates of interest on the bad credit loans will be greater, when likened to loans provided to folks with good credit.
 

Apparently there may be an underlying political PR campaign involved that goes with the territory.
 

"There's also the interesting matter of the eleven delegates representing "Americans abroad," who may or may not have retained residency in American states and thus be entitled to cast absentee ballots."

In Presidential elections this is not the way it works (I lived overseas for 17 years). There was a separate primary for Americans Abroad.

As to the general election, the question was where was your last place of residence in the United States and one then sent in the absentee ballot to the relevant person in the state (Secretary of State etc). Maintaining US residence was irrelevant for purposes of federal elections.
 

This little discrepancy about the Northern Marianas islands that you note parenthetically seems interesting in light of the longstanding and deep ties between the Marianas Islands leadership and the Republican party, particularly in Congress.

Lately this association has been in the news a bit because of the Jack Abramoff scandal. Abramoff was paid millions of dollars to lobby against imposing the federal minimum wage on the Marianas Islands, among other issues; many Republican members of Congress have gone to bat for the companies doing business on the islands, despite serious accusations of sweatshop working conditions, near-indentured servitude labor practices, and human rights abuses. See background info here. The issue has also recently ensnared a senate candidate.

I have no idea what connection, if any, there is between the question of which territories send delegates to which party conventions and this link between the Marianas leadership and the Republican party. But it certainly would be an interesting issue for someone to look into. Do political ties of powerful corporations and officials to the Republicans yield delegates to their national convention? Or conversely, do Democrats refuse to offer slots at their convention to the Marianas Islands because they perceive the islands to be a Republican fiefdom? What is going on here exactly?
 

I have a genuine question for Benjamin Davis or any other election law maven who might see this post: Are any formal indicia of "residence" required in the last state one lived before moving to Europe, or does one retain voting residency in, say, Kansas even if one has not lived there or otherwise had any formal connection with Kansas for say, 10 y years?

Do such voters get to vote for other officials as well (senators, representatives, members of the local school board), or do they get to vote only for the presidential electors?
 

I am far from a maven on this.

Only for federal contests (President and Congressperson) if I remember right - but that might differ from state to state.

I had not lived in Massachusetts for 13 years when I voted in the 1996 Presidential election for example.

No other indicia of connection except last US voting residence was what I remember from when I was in Paris. I wish I had a copy of the Federal Absentee Ballot and its Instructions.
Hope that helps.

Best,
Ben
 

Thanks for drawing attention to an important political, and legal, issue. Puerto Ricans have been U.S. citizens since 1917, and they have fought as Americans in every war since WWI. For Bart dePalma's information, that includes wars when they were drafted and had no choice but to go wherever Uncle Sam sent them. Frankly, I am heartened that the national parties have decided to give fellow citizens recognition that is denied to them by Congress. Because of the tight Democratic race, I have hope that the status question finally will merit serious attention at the national level.

It is far too simple to say that the people of Puerto Rico do not want to change the Free Associated Status that was offered to them by Congress over half a century ago. The world has changed much since then, and the economic advantages offered by Congress to Puerto Ricans have disappeared along with the Cold War-era military bases that were the tit for tat for those incentives. But Congress never offered Puerto Rico any meaningful participation in the national political process. And as economic conditions worsen on the island, Puerto Ricans are left with practically no say about policies, politics, and programs that could help reinvogorate the economy.

These second class citizens (of which I am one) meanwhile have contributed in very meaningful ways to the society, culture, and norms that we are so proud of in the U.S. Puerto Ricans have served and are serving with distinction in the military, in the U.S. government, and in the legal and corporate world. They have proudly represented the U.S. in the Olympics (for example, U.S. Gold Medal winner Gigi Fernandez), they have been (or are) prominent artists (Raul Julia, Jose Ferrer, Rita Moreno, Benicio del Toro, etc), have served as U.S. ambassadors overseas, and one was named the Surgeon General by the first President Bush (Antonia Novello).

In sum, the Democratic and Republican parties, to their credit, have acted honorably and equitably in giving fellow citizens living in Puerto Rico a say in national politics. It is a recognition that Puerto Ricans deserve from Congress and the Executive Branch as well.
 

There is no formal proof of former residency required for absentee voting. All you have to do is provide the last address used in the US.

Whether or not you can vote for local elections depends on the state. Georgia, for example, allows absentee voters to vote for everything on the normal ballot. If my memory serves, California does not.

I'm registered to vote in Georgia, which is where I lived for several years in college. I have no real connection to the state, familial or otherwise, but that's where I vote, even if I haven't lived there in nearly a decade and I'll never live there again.

Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.
