Canada or Soviet Kanukistan as Pat Buchanan called it has more votes than Vermont, North Dakota and other states. A 30,000 vote swing in a state could decide an outcome in some states.

U.S. parties fish for votes in Canada

CALGARY - The sister of U.S. Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry is campaigning in Canada to convince the hundreds of thousands of expatriate Americans living here to vote for her brother.

"It was the overseas absentee ballot that put George Bush over the top [in 2000]," Diana Kerry, chair of Americans Overseas for Kerry, said during a stop in Calgary on Tuesday. "This time, we want to make sure that that majority goes to my brother."

Between 400,000 and 600,000 Americans living in Canada are eligible to vote in the November U.S. presidential election. At the top end of the estimates, that's more than the number of voters now living in the states of North Dakota, Wyoming or Vermont.

"Twenty to thirty thousand votes in appropriate swing states could determine this election ... with hundreds of thousands of Americans living in Canada, every vote could make a difference," said Kelli Wight of the Toronto-based group Republicans Abroad Canada.

A large proportion of the Americans in Canada live in southern Alberta, the U.S. consulate in Calgary says.

"It's always been important to me to be counted," said Marilyn Cyr, a longtime Republican from Texas who lives in Calgary.

She considers this election between Democratic candidate Kerry and the Republican president, George W. Bush, to be the most important one in her lifetime, given the current American presence in Iraq.

"You have one person taking you into war, and an opportunity to change that leader," she said. "The country has to decide if they want that big issue changed."

Both parties are urging Americans living outside the U.S. to register for their overseas ballots as quickly as possible, by getting in touch with the nearest consulate.

"Generally, registration requests should be sent no later than early September," Doran Bard, consul at the U.S. Consulate General in Calgary, told the Canadian Press. "Those who are interested in voting in November's presidential election should get their requests in right away."


Hmm? What about Frenchie Americans over in communist EUrope?

Creeper is gonna have nightie mares. Poor little poo poo.
