This Year’s Election Shows Why Early Voting Is Such a Bad Idea
Convenience should not determine when Americans vote.
By Jonah Goldberg — November 4, 2016
Let’s work backward.
Less than a week before the election, the Wall Street Journal and Fox News’ Bret Baier reported that the Clinton Foundation has been under investigation for “pay-for-play” allegations for over a year — and that the Department of Justice may have been trying to monkey-wrench the effort.
Eleven days before the election, FBI director James Comey announced that he was reopening the inquiry into Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. A few days before that, WikiLeaks dropped a bombshell of a hacked memo showing the full extent of “Clinton Inc.” — the tawdry, tacky, and some would argue criminal web of for-profit, nonprofit, and political entities that make up the Clinton empire. A couple weeks before that, NBC News released a tape of Donald Trump describing how he likes to sexually assault women. Since then, nearly a dozen women have come forward describing treatment that closely tracks the behavior Trump himself described in an unguarded moment.
Those are just the highlights.
