Abstract

Significance Despite reports that nearly all the reviewed emails were duplicates already screened by the FBI, Republican candidate Donald Trump has condemned Comey's announcement as evidence of a "totally rigged system". The partisan positioning on Clinton's emails raises questions as to how voters form opinions on complicated or uncertain events and whether the media landscape affects their voting patterns and policy preferences. Impacts If Clinton wins on November 8, challenging the legitimacy of her presidency is a likely source of post-election Republican unity. Reform-minded Republican elites are unlikely to succeed with post-election moderation of their party's policy positions. However, the aging in the white electorate and growth in the non-white populations could fragment present political coalitions.
