Northampton County residents can register to vote, apply for a ballot,
and vote all in the same trip to the election's office - HOWEVER, this
process can take an hour or more. It is best to register to vote online
before coming to vote in person.

Not much info online for your particular situation. The student can vote on campus.

Not possible, the voter is a plane ride away.

I'm in a similar spot - overseas at the moment, voting district in Erie (also a crucial county), ordered the ballot in early October and just got it last week, which was obviously too late for it to get from Iceland back to the elections office in Erie in time. As far as I know, there's nothing you can do about it except grumble. Maybe find a friend who wasn't planning on voting and get them to vote as a favor to you. That's all I can think of.

They really need to fix this. I just read an article that there are over 3 million Americans living and working overseas and still paying taxes to America and less than 10% actually get their ballots in because the process is so difficult.
