Eligibility to cast an absentee ballot should depend on meaningful ties to Israel, not the ability to afford an Election Day plane ticket
Nick is an Israeli citizen, a senior physician and a surgeon. He has lived in the United States for years. His life is there.
But since October 7, Nick has repeatedly packed a suitcase, boarded a plane, and flown to Israel. Not for a vacation. Not to visit family. He came to serve in the reserves as a doctor alongside IDF units fighting on the front lines.

And it made me ask a simple question: Shouldn’t Nick be able to exercise his right to vote without having to buy yet another plane ticket to Israel?
