But...but...without constant ads, robocalls, direct mailings, political rallies, door-to-door campaigners, and talking head pundits going 24/7....how...how will they know who to vote for???

(By the way, if anyone wants to send me up to do some door-to-door campaigning next time around, I'm totally available.)

How many electoral votes does outer space get? If you include the population of all of the space aliens, outer space should get millions of electoral votes.

@ceilingFANBOY: Which part of outer space is ours and how many of those aliens are US citizens? Oh and is outer space a territory or a State? If it is a state, we need to add another star to the flag.

@ldevitt: This is America that we are talking about. Space isn't claimed, which means that if there were any reason to, we would claim it for ourselves. Since everyone living in space was born in space, they would be natural citizens.
