I have a friend in Canada who recently became a US citizen, although she has never lived or worked in the USA. Is she eligible to vote, and if so, how does her vote get counted? There are not electoral votes for Americans abroad, at least to my knowledge. Does she get to pick which state her vote will count in? Any idea how she can register to be an eligible voter? Thanks.

How does out of country voting work for the presidential election?

I don't think she's registered in any county as she's never lived in the USA.
Well, she has to be registered to vote. To do that you are "supposed to be" a resident of a community (although the Texas Supreme Court just ruled that it's illegal to require an ID to vote).
A registered voter not only votes in a Presidential election....they vote for their US Congress & US Senator....they vote for their State Congressman & State Senator.....Governor.....and local politicians (Mayor, Sheriff, City Council, School Board, Supervisor of Elections, etc). So, this person will need to declare a home in order to register to vote.
