In its Arizona lawsuit, the RNC claims that allowing overseas non-resident voters to cast ballots "inflicts a competitive injury" on both the state and national GOP by adding to the state's voter rolls "individuals who are disproportionately non-Republican in their partisan affiliations."

Well that's pretty self explanatory

They told us to leave if we dont like it here and are angry that we are doing it and still have influence in elections, plus you cant gerrymander another country

I'm not worried. Democrats will compromise and count 3/5th of votes from overseas.
