clinton's e-mail server. >> people are thinking about it. here to explain the options with us is erin, how does one simply change their vote? >> reporter: not every voter can do it. in fact, the deadline to change your vote passed on tuesday in the state of minnesota. so unfortunately, minnesotans don't have this option. so only in wisconsin, michigan and pennsylvania can they do have. pennsylvania, specifically, the voter can go in on election day and their absentee ballot would be invalidated. in wisconsin you have up until three options, you can do it three times, changing your vote. which is so interesting. now, as of tuesday, no one had changed their vote in wisconsin three times just yet, but i would be interested to see by

election day if someone actually does it three times. >> do you have any numbers, i mean, as to how many people have tried to change their votes before? and explain one more time what happens to your other vote. >> reporter: so what you do in these states, and in michigan, you have the option to until 4:00 p.m. on monday, the day before election day, but you have to go into a local election's office and actually say, okay, i might have made a mistake. and now election officials will go get your ballot, destroy it, and then you hand in a new one. >> so interesting. no, you've got to confirm the first one is invalidated. i was in minnesota and voted absentee. i was not aware of this process, but when you look at the other states so open, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, all very important states in this process. are the campaigns focusing on people that have already voted and trying to get them to switch? or is this just something they are talking about? >> or to keep them from switching? >> reporter: we're not really hearing that from hillary clinton. but as you play in the top of the segment, donald trump has

been talking about this. wisconsin is an important state, and hillary clinton just started advertising in wisconsin last week as polls there are tightening. pennsylvania is a very important one. donald trump really needs to win pennsylvania to have the hope of actually winning the white house. so he is doing a little bit of this because every vote counts, especially in those important swing states. >> it does seem like the lead is a door open for a lot of the human error by accident or if, you know, planning it and it's voter fraud. so what are they doing to keep any of that from happening? >> reporter: well, it's all with the human touch. what the local election officials have to do is look at the signatures that you cast and c compare it with the new ones on a ballot. >> but my signature is never the same. >> mine isn't either. >> you're right, a lot of people weren't aware of this. >> and absentee ballots could be

invalidated if they areimproperly filled out in the first place. eric mcpike, thank you for illuminating us on this this morning. and the fbi is promising to pursue not one but two investigations into hillary clinton. will she be indicted? and here's faith hill and tim mcgraw performing at last night's cmas. changes to make things right.
