NASA Astronauts Cast 2024 Votes from Space Station
TL;DR Summary
NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station, including Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, are participating in the 2024 U.S. election by voting from space. This is made possible through absentee ballots and NASA's communication systems, which securely transmit their votes back to Earth. The process is facilitated by a Texas law allowing astronauts to vote from orbit, a practice first implemented in 1997.
