As Mic notes, people who are place on Earth in American Samoa are imagined "nationals," although not "citizens" of the United States. That demonstrates they won't have the ability to vote in the general election — although they pay for Americanized healthcare systems like Medicare and Medicaid, and are also conscripted into military service. (The territory has the highest rate of enlistment of any state or territory.) Congresswoman Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen is the territory's current Representative.
