The Census counts residents, not citizens.  So, expats aren't counted.

So they are not counted, but they are allowed to vote.  If one maintains some sort of home state ID, then they would be part of the districting that determines number of state representatives or even federal Congress representatives.  I would think some are expected to be counted, depending on the wording of the census form/question.  I often am not physically in my home as I work on the road as a contractor, so on the last census the questions as worded meant I was not counted anywhere.

Voting is based on your last residence address in the US. No current local ID is needed. You could have lived there 50 years ago. 

Voting yes, but gerrymandering and counting people in place x,y,z is an ongoing process and the census is used for that.
