Personally I don't believe that the domestic communists in the US endangered the security of the ordinary Americans. I believe that Senator Joe McCarthy went on a witch hunt because of the concerns of the large corporations and them worrying about their security, not of the average American. In fact, true communists or socialists only want better working and living conditions for the downtrodden in this case of the US citizens so far from being a threat to their security they are fighting for increased security for those people. An international example is the country of Viet Nam which is a communist or socialist government but which threatens no one and is a peaceful, successful country as opposed to the hysteria of the 1960's and 1970's about the communists of North Vietnam.
You can vote in U.S. elections if you:
Are a U.S. citizen
Meet your state's residency requirements
You can be homeless and still meet these requirements.
Are 18 years old on or before Election Day
In almost every state, you can register to vote before you turn 18 if you will be 18 by Election Day. See a table of voter registration age requirements by state.
Are registered to vote by your state's voter registration deadline. North Dakota does not require voter registration.
