Voting ability of people on vacation: None. That's how it was for a very long time. You're out? Can't vote. It's not like europe where voting happens whenever. Voting in the US is very regular. Plan around it.
Voting for expats: Arguably none as well. You don't live here, why should you have a say in what happens here? Come back, become a resident again (you're already a citizen), then you have a say.
But that is a harder argument where there are counter arguments, plus there is probably a constitutional barrier to that.
As a person who will likely be a tropical snowbird I can live with what you wrote. I plan on escaping winter abroad then returning when its toasty. So I can leave AFTER the Election.
I returned in 2020 In Sept Just in time to get my SS going and to Vote, I'd been abroad living in our home. It was the lockdown COVID crap that convinced me to return and I'm glad I did, both filing for SS and Voting from abroad is a pain in the butt. If you file for SS abroad you have to return an I'm alive form that may or may not arrive yearly...
So if I chose not to be able to vote because of fair elections rules I'm good, or I can just return to vote.

When I was traveling abroad, getting/sending mail was complicated. I had to just cheer from the sidelines.
