US Presidential election extends to space

Leroy Chiao, KE5BRW, the Commander of the Expedition 10 crew on the International Space Station, made history on 2 November by being the first person to vote from space.

A law passed in 1997 allows astronauts to vote electronically from space and Chiao submitted his ballot in the US Presidential Election via e-mail.
