Voting From Space: Astronauts Cast Ballots
Some states allow for early voting and absentee voting, but only one state allows for voting from space!
American astronauts, when not in space, call Houston, America home, so that is where they are registered to vote.
According to the Palm Beach Post, Texas passed a law in 1997 that allows astronauts to vote from space. How cool is that?!!?
Astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Kate Rubins both cast their votes from space this year; Rubins a few weeks ago (absentee ballot), and Kimbrough last week (secure electronic ballot).
