Elections 2016

Hillary Clinton vowed to be a president for all Americans as she made an upbeat closing pitch to voters on Monday, with rock star power propelling her in the final showdown with Donald Trump.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to reimpose new restrictions in Ohio on partisan poll watchers that Democrats had sought to prevent Election Day voter intimidation, handing a victory to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

NPR commentator Cokie Roberts Monday joked that “birth control” would be more effective than tougher immigration laws in producing a Latino vote in favor of the Republican Party.

Some Get Out The Vote videos are cool or hilarious. Most are lame. Some even mock the millennials they're trying to get to the polls.

On November 1, 2016, just one week in advance of the presidential election, the New York Times reported that over the summer FBI officials had decided, in the heat of a presidential election year, not to pursue a case against the Clinton Foundation and its sources of funding. The case, based out of the FBI’s New York field office, had failed to unearth any substantiated evidence of wrongdoing. Even worse, the preliminary case New York-based FBI agents developed was rooted in news accounts and the partisan political book, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich (Harper Collins, 2015), which claimed the Clintons had accepted foreign funding for their foundation in return for special favors through Hillary’s State Department. Seeing this book for what it really was, Justice Department and senior FBI officials rightly stopped the investigation from advancing. To many, the fact that FBI agents of all people could base an official, if preliminary, FBI investigation on an overtly partisan book seemed on its face absurd and ridiculous. The reality, however, is that this sort of thing is not without precedent. It happened some 75 years before.
