It is clear that you disagree. That’s okay. We don’t all have to agree. However, your thoughts and beliefs are not the only “correct” ones and just because someone else doesn’t agree with you and/or you don’t understand them, doesn’t make them “silly.” By putting others down your ideas don’t magically become more “right.”

Our right to vote is extremely important. In this we have the chance to take action for what we believe in and help shape our world. It is an opportunity that, I believe, should not be given up easily. An absentee ballot is a way to exercise that right.

This has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing. You seem to be confused about the legalities of voting.

It doesn't matter what the OP cares about. It would be illegal for the OP to vote in Texas since he/she has moved to Arizona. You can't legally move away from a state and continue to vote in the state you left. The OP states they are a resident of Arizona.

An absentee ballot isn't a way to vote in a state after you have moved away from that state.

This is not an election where you have a say in anything outside of the state you are legally able to vote in.

I am not confused. That is why I said, depending on when you moved, meaning if they just landed here and perhaps are in temporary housing or somehow haven't legally moved. They did state they still have a TX license. That is what I meant. I should have been clearer. Yes, I know one cannot vote in a state other than where one is residing.

I got an AZ id a year before I moved here that allowed me to get set up before my actual move. Anyone can get an AZ state ID as long as you are not an illegal alien.I think now you need a mailing address but you can use a friend or relatives address.

I can't argue with you if you don't understand how the U.S. Congress works.

I can't argue with you if you don't understand what "voter fraud" means.

The OP "just moved" to Arizona. The OP has a TX drivers licence and is registered to vote in TX. The OP is still a resident of TX and can vote absentee. You do realize that US citizens that live abroad still vote in their home state elections don't you? This isn't a foreign concept.

Where are you getting all the details you are posting as fact? I see no where that says the OP is registered to vote in Texas. Even if he was registered to vote, Texas voter eligibility states that you must reside in the county you are registered to vote. So, if you moved and do not reside in that county an absentee ballot is no longer valid.

The OP declared himself a "resident of AZ", you can't be a resident of AZ and Texas for voting purposes. I'm taking the OP at his word that he is a resident of AZ since he posted no details to indicate he doesn't meet the legal requirements that make him a resident. If he has a job in AZ or a kid in school in AZ he is a resident of AZ and can't legally vote in Texas.

Living abroad as an expat doesn't create challenges of residency in two different states so I don't know why you would make that comparison as it has nothing to do with this situation.

This does seem to be a "foreign concept" to you since your post has so much misinformation and made up facts.

Can you vote in AZ with an out of state license?

PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENT

"A complete voter registration form must contain proof of citizenship or the form will be rejected. If you have an Arizona driver license or nonoperating identification license issued after October 1, 1996, this will serve as proof of citizenship. If not, you must enclose proof of citizenship with the form".

Actually one CAN register to vote in Arizona without proving US citizenship, although you must attest, under penalty of perjury, that they are citizens. People who do that are given separate ballots and can only vote for federal offices. This is because US law does not require proof of citizenship but Arizona law does.

I get what you are saying, but to be clear, the article is stating that you can vote for federal issues and offices without being registered to vote. It doesn't say you can register to vote in AZ without proof of citizenship.
