Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat, President and CEO of the non-partisan U.S. Vote Foundation told VOA that her organization has seen "a dramatic spike" in numbers of voters registering and requesting ballots -- an increase of a whopping 385 percent. She says her organization does not have complete overseas voter registration numbers.

The top five states of origin, she said, are New York and California -- both Democrat strongholds, Ohio and Florida -- both important swing states -- and Texas, which has traditionally voted Republican but which has long been predicted to turn.

The (obviously) partisan Democrats Abroad says they've reached more than 2.5 million Americans living overseas and know of election watch parties in more than 65 cities around the world. They estimate that 8.7 million Americans live overseas.

"With this year's poll so tight, those voters could make a real difference," says Katie Solon, Chair of Democrats Abroad.

With the polling margins so small, it could very well be Americans living abroad who determine the next President of the United States," she said.
