Establishing Residency in US: NOT for in-state tuition purposes [US citizen currently living outside the US]

This is not quite right. You need to be a citizen and you need to be “eligible” to vote in some state, but citizens like my daughter, who has never been a resident of any state, are able to vote. In her case, she is eligible to vote in California based on my having been registered to vote there more than 20 years ago (I am also eligible to vote there based on my prior residency). The rules can be a little arcane, but for anyone living overseas who has questions, the local US Embassy can help.
