ann: FBI Director James Comey sent shockwaves through the race by telling Congress on Sunday that investigators had worked "around the clock" to complete a review of newly discovered emails and found no reason to change their July finding that Clinton was not guilty of criminal wrongdoing in her use of a private email server while secretary of state, according to Nine News Australia. Whether the announcement came in time to change minds or undo any damage from days of Republican attacks on Clinton as corrupt was uncertain. Both Clinton and Trump will spend the day racing across a handful of key battleground states that could swing Tuesday election, which polls show is extremely close but tilting toward Clinton. Tens of millions of Americans had cast early votes in the 10 days since Comey first told Congress of the newly discovered emails. But Republicans kept up their criticism of Clinton despite Comey announcement. Clinton Democratic allies hoped the FBI finding would be enough to push her over the finish line and end the uncertainty and Republican attacks on her character that dogged her campaign for the last 10 days."The FBI swift and thorough review should finally close the door on this Republican sideshow," House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said, adding the election would now be decided "on the merits of the candidates" rather than innuendo.
