The federal government should provide a mechanism so that overseas voters may vote in person, instead of relying on postal mail. It should be feasible to electronically route ballots from the SOS via the State Department and Department of Defense to embassies and consulate and military bases and facilities, and then return the completed ballots by diplomatic mail.
