The Proving Residency for Overseas Voter Eligibility, or PROVE, Act would require overseas voters to have a "current residence" in the state they're registered, or a spouse, parent or guardian with such a residence.

Fuck all the way off. You make me file taxes every year. You have rules that make investing for my retirement much more difficult because of PFICs. Your asinine IRS rules stop foreign banks and brokerages for even wanting to touch US citizens. You want me to not vote? Do what the rest of the world (minus I think 1 country) does and drop all that shit.
