the INS no longer exists, however. i wonder if its new incarnation is as strewn with red tape.

You are right, they changed their acronym, but it's still the same place. Doesn't look, act or feel any different. I call it INS still because it's the thing that comes to mind, forgot the new acronym for it.

Here's a link to a Federal Online Absentee ballot. As you can see, you have to indicate where you lived in your state. Here's a link to Pennsylvania's absentee voter page.
Now, since you have American citizenship through your father, it's possible that his residence is/was your domicile. So, for example, if his domicile is/was in Pennsylvania, that would be the state in which you were domiciled. Keep in mind that I'm only guessing at this.
It also occurs to me there may be another problem. If you're also an Australian citizen, you may or may not have lost your American citizenship. From my own personal experience, I know that while it's possible to hold dual citizenship, the U.S. doesn't really accept the idea, and certain acts on your part can be seen as indicating an abandonment of your U.S. citizenship-- for example, serving in another nation's military. I don't know if voting in another nation's elections (Australia), or working for another nation's defense department qualifies as one of those things that the U.S. frowns on.
Your best bet, if you're serious about any of this, would be to talk with an immigration attorney about your citizenship and voting rights.
Comrade NOOLigan,
Here's the deal. He has to be under 18 to keep his American citizenship. If you have dual citezenship, it is at 18 that you choose which country you will keep your citezenship. After the age of 18 he has to have a place of residence. If you where born in Spain, then you automatically get your US citezenship to the state your father last paid taxes to. for instance, military move all over the place, but their home of record is where they pay their taxes to. They be stationed in California, but still pay their taxes and vote for local elections to Jersey, if that is their home of record.
Main question at this point is what age are you, and what was your mother's citezenship?

I'm eligible for Italian citizenship; that's what I meant by "my personal experience." I can acquire Italian citizenship without giving up my U.S. citizenship. However, I have to be careful not to engage in behavior that indicates an abandonment of my U.S. citizenship-- for example, serving in another country's armed forces.
Yeah, that'll happen. :p

yes thanks. i still have to figure out what to do about my state.
And why are the American media making a big deal out of this? They are very prudish, if they are giving a damn about this crap and also about Janet Jackson's breasts...

It actually has a reference in there for those that don't have a state to clasify themselves. Look for the fine print there, it's in blue. Couldn't paste the shortcut, but choose voter type, then at step one here is the quote where that info is located:
"U.S. citizens who have never lived in the United States, click here to learn what address you should use" JHC
