Donald Trump is urging some early voters for Hillary Clinton to change their ballots for him. But it's unlikely enough will heed his call to affect the presidential race.
 
Trump urged early voters in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Michigan on Tuesday to change their ballots for him if they're having a "bad case of buyer's remorse" after voting for Clinton.
 
Those states do allow early voters to change their ballots. But the deadline was Tuesday in Minnesota and deadlines in the other states are fast approaching.
 
Election officials say voters rarely change absentee ballots. University of Wisconsin-Madison political scientist Barry Burden says he doesn't expect large numbers of people will change their minds this year. He said early voters tend to be especially enthusiastic about their favorite candidate.
