In light of the real October surprise (LOL at the Trump bus tape), can people that mailed in their ballot now request to change their vote? What about those that voted in person?

Why would they want to do that? Another investigation does not make Trump any more qualified.

People that are unsure usually wait as long as possible before they cast their vote because they know that it's subject to change as time goes by. Those that are very sure are usually the ones that vote early.

I know in my state, if you mail in absentee, you can show upon election day and vote there provisional, and I believe that's the one that gets counted.

I voted early, second day the poll was open. No desire to change my vote. I didn't vote for crooked hillary.

I tend to believe that most early voters firmly support their candidate so a reopened FBI investigation or a new bimbo eruption would not likely change hearts and minds anyway. I think there would be greater impact from an indictment, but that would have had to happen before early voting began.

Undecideds? I also tend to believe that most voters that identified as undecided were actually republicans that were hesitant to vote for Trump. If they come back to Trump, and he gains some of the remaining undecided voters and he sways a few democrats, he may have a chance to win.

The reopened FBI case and any potentially damning Wikileaks releases may result in the aforementioned scenario.

People who have their eyes open know that Hillary will continue to be corrupt. When someone is a bad person that won't change.

No, you are not allowed to vote twice. Civics 101.

So even if you now regret your vote for Trump, you're stuck with it.

I know Trump enough that he's got nothing else hiding. We get someone who is going to fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and stubbornly so. Compare to someone who is calculating, dishonest, and hiding all sorts of skeletons in the closet.

Here in Ohio I don't believe someone can change their vote. We do have provisional ballots, but I don't believe you can vote that way if you've sent in your absentee ballot. If you've requested an absentee ballot and haven't mailed it back you can then fill out a provisional ballot at the polling station. This is from the Ohio Secretary of State's website regarding provisional voting: Provisional Voting

During one of the previous elections (not that long ago) I recall someone from our county board of elections saying provisional ballots aren't counted until days later, and then only if there are enough of them to possibly change the outcome of something.
