What happens if something really serious comes out 2 days before election day?
No, why would they?

Nothing serious is going to come out ever, but they do keep trying.

Under what possible theory?

Listen, this election we have a choice between sucks and stinks, so the rather large portion of the voting public are going to question their vote no matter what day they vote or what new news comes out or who they finally flip the switch for.

In the immortal words of one of our awful candidate choices, "What difference does it make?"

I agree, we are left with some rather "distasteful" choices but that is the way our system is currently working.

Again, on the theory that all the relevant information has not been revealed/isn't all in yet. This situation has never been seen before so I was asking the question under the thought that unique situations sometimes require unique solutions.
I don't see why anyone would be afraid of such an idea, unless they're afraid people might just change the vote away from the person THEY want to win...

Wtf? Really? What's the point of early voting if you can change it "election" day?

Just another sign of how pathetically weak American society has become.

Or how totally inept and willing to jump to a conclusion on the flimsiest, or lack of information.

Oh it's very believable in this fundamentally transformed America.

It's only fair.

I assure you there are more goodies still hidden on both of these Pinocchios. Are you proposing that if one of those nuggets gets leaked on Nov 10th that we should have a do-over election? If that is the new way of doing things I want a do-over primary.
