He got his primary ballot, but no ballot for November.

1. He should call and try to pursue it. I saw one story where they were
talking about faxed ballots from oversees. I don't know if there are any options but don't give up.

3. Solution?
Under the provisions of the UOCAVA, the FVAP also provides a "back-up" ballot, called the Federal Write In Absentee Ballot, or FWAB, available if a citizen outside the United States (including APO and FPO addresses) does not receive the regular absentee ballot from the state after having made a timely application for the ballot. The FWAB is used to vote for Federal offices (President/Vice President, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative, Delegate or Resident Commissioner) in general elections. Some states now allow military and overseas citizens to use the FWAB in elections other than general elections or for offices other than Federal offices. Again, the citizen should consult Chapter 3 of the Guide for specific state or territorial requirements.
