I'm not offering an opinion on which version of events will later be corroborated, but election eve incidents such as this one should serve as a sobering reminder to all voters of the perils inherent in early and absentee voting.  A worst-case scenario would involve a tight contest and one of the candidates arrested on election eve or day on a charge of murder, rape or for possession and distribution of child pornography.  Someone who waited to physically cast a vote at a polling place can at least engage his judgment and common sense to sway his decision.  Someone who voted early or by absentee ballot obviously cannot.
