Question: What is the only U.S. state to allow its residents to cast absentee ballots from outer space?
A) Florida
B) California
C) New York
D) Texas
The answer may shock you but it doesn't surprise me though. Answer: Thanks to a 1997 law, Texas is the only state that allows residents to vote from space. Astronauts are allowed to vote while in space. An electronic ballot gets sent from the Galveston County Clerk's office to the Johnson Space Center. Mission control then transmits the electronic ballot through a satellite to the International Space Station. The astronauts then vote electronically and the ballot gets sent back to the Clerk's office to be counted.
