[quote=Anonymous]As a non-US, tax-paying resident on a long-term visa, I am torn. On the one hand, it's not fair to live here and not have a voice, when I've paid taxes for years, volunteered for different local organizations, and shown I am a law-abiding and civic-minded person who is happy to contribute to local society. On the other hand, if a sufficient number of non-US residents are influenced by a foreign nation to sway the vote for political reasons, then that becomes a problem. This has never happened, and is unlikely to happen, but every country needs safeguards in place to prevent this. So... I don't know. [/quote]
