I think it would be neat if someone built some sort of online election service that would let non-US residents vote in US presidential elections. The votes wouldn’t count for anything of course, but the winner of the real election could immediately get a sense of how much the rest of the world didn’t want him to win.

It seems like—in our current political climate—people would use that as something to hold over the head of the candidate the didn’t like. As in, “Oh, he got XX% of the foreign vote, so he must be bad for America.”
I like it very much. It wouldn’t be that hard to build (well, it might be but not harder than anything else) and if it got a push or a couple of foreign stories about it, it would take off. You should write a grant proposal for it. Shop it around to some VC cats.
