I am a US citizen living overseas. I donated a few hundred bucks to the Obama campaign and bought some merchandise. And the campaign was pretty meticulous when it came to verifying my citizenship (checked my passport number).
Obviously, with the number of small donations the campaign received, it took a while for them to do this. With the merchandise it was immediate, since the shipping address was overseas (they would not ship it until they verified my citizenship). But with the online money donations I made during the primary, they only called recently.
But call they did.
