AP Trump to Clinton's early voters: You can change your vote

Donald Trump has a message for voters in certain states who already cast a ballot for Hillary Clinton and are beginning to feel buyer’s remorse: It’s not too late.

“You can change your vote in six states,” Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning. “So, now that you see that Hillary was a big mistake, change your vote to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”


The former secretary of state’s campaign was flying high at the start of early voting in many states, buoyed by polls showing her with a durable lead over Trump, who had been mired in controversy amid allegations of sexual assault against him and mass defections by Republican leaders.

But the tide has begun to turn against Clinton in recent days with the FBI director’s announcement that the bureau is examining fresh evidence, reopening its investigation into her use of a private email server as secretary of state. That, combined with news that Obamacare health insurance premiums will spike next year and the daily trickle of email releases from the hacked account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, has put Trump back on the offensive.

Trump made that case in person Tuesday night in Wisconsin, a state where early or absentee voters can cast a ballot up to three times, canceling their previous one. Other states, including Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut and Mississippi have similar laws.

Those laws vary though from state to state, and some are more permissive than others. In Mississippi, for example, absentee voters may only change their vote by showing up on Election Day and casting a ballot, and act that cancels the one they mailed in. In Connecticut, voters who cast an absentee ballot can request on Election Day that their mailed-in ballot be withdrawn and cast a new ballot, although that request must be made before 10 a.m.
