Millions of American voters live outside the country. While there’s a lot of uncertainty over the exact current numbers, vote-rich Canada is home to hundreds of thousands of potential U.S. voters — estimated to hold the most of any foreign country, followed by Mexico and the U.K.
The non-partisan Federal Voting Assistance Program, which is run by the U.S. Department of Defense to help overseas voters participate in elections, estimates there are 605,697 Americans in Canada who are of voting age.
Major Canadian cities are near the battleground states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, making them likely locations for American voters.
Border cities are even home to Americans who commute daily into the United States.
Meanwhile, Maine Democrats have their eyes on Canada’s Atlantic provinces because that state apportions electoral votes differently than most.
While both parties may be wooing Americans living overseas and military voters, the Democrats are making a big push north of the border.
