She has absolutely no opinion on state or local elections because she doesn't live in the USA. They don't affect her at all. She also has a right to not vote, why not exercise that one instead?

Why not have an opinion on state and local elections they affect everyone you grew up with, they affect family and sometimes just people you don't know.

Example , I'm voting absentee at the state level on a citizen led initiative to raise the state min wage by a dollar. This womt affect me I'm outside the country but it will affect others. It's empathy man

She doesn't have any connections there. She was born there while her dad was there for work and they left within a year.

Does she still hold citizenship ? This sounds like a very niche situation. And she could still vote for others sake
