Voting from space … again

Kate Rubins is headed to space in October and, while there, plans to vote in the US Presidential election from the International Space Station, for a second time. It turns out that astronauts have been voting from space for decades.

Rubins also cast her vote from the International Space Station during the 2016 election

Three other astronauts, who have filled out the paperwork, are expected to join Rubin on the Space Station in the final days before the election.

A team at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston coordinates between each astronaut’s County Clerk and the "completed ballot is downlinked and delivered back to the County Clerk’s Office by e-mail to be officially recorded."
