2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDoes anyone think the Comey intervention may have boosted early voting for Clinton?
I do think with groups strongly opposed to Trump it may have boosted the turnout. The reason I say this is that the early voter turnout seemed for Clinton seemed to be contrary to the tightening of polls which was going on at the same time.

I think Trump's own words against minorities and women and significant GOTV efforts contributed the most towards early voting.
