Welcome to McClatchy’s Voter Survival Guide, an interactive presentation of daily events from one of the strangest presidential campaigns in modern history.
Hillary Clinton’s aversion to technology could be the reason why the FBI is looking into more emails that could be related to Clinton’s private server.
Clinton aide Huma Abedin reportedly printed out emails for Clinton to read from her private Yahoo account, which could explain why up to 650,000 State Department emails ended up on Abedin’s private computer.
It’s clear that Donald Trump has been gaining in the polls over the last couple of days, as states like Florida have tightened and Arizona has tilted back in Trump’s favor, but he still faces an uphill climb for the presidency.
A Texas politician is in hot water after tweeting out a derogatory term in reference to Clinton. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller apologized for the tweet which he said was sent by a staffer.
The polls open nationally in 6 days. Let’s get started.
Abedin printed Clinton’s emails, which could explain why they ended up on her personal computer
Hillary Clinton did not like reading state department emails on her screen, so Abedin printed them out for her to read. Apparently she did that through her private Yahoo account which showed up on her home computer, even though the emails were printed from work.
“Clinton also liked to receive and read a lot of information in paper documents, which is why she would often forward emails to her executive staff with instructions to print,” the FBI report says.
Some of the information in the emails was redacted by the State Department.
Bill Clinton defended his wife’s use of email on Tuesday while campaigning in South Florida, saying it shouldn’t change the mind of voters because she has been addressing the issue for the past year.
“They know what the real security issue is,” Clinton told the crowd at the Florida City Youth Activity Center. “The real security issue is having somebody who will keep you safe and strong while we can grow our way together.”
