Pelosi Did Not Call to Bar Overseas Troops from Voting

On Aug. 11, 2020, an online publication called ‘America’s Last Line of Defense’ published an article stating that US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had said that American troops stationed overseas should no longer be able to cast their votes in U.S. elections because “they don’t even live here.” In addition, it said she said that that they had worked abroad for so long, they had “become foreigners.” This claim was subsequently circulated on social media, specifically Twitter.
