I always cast my vote on election day because I want to have the most information. What if I vote early, then the person I voted for has a major scandal the day before the polls close? Being able to change one's vote would remove all the disincentive to voting early or whenever it's most convenient for you.

If you're changing your vote based on which side was the latest to have a major "scandal", you're part of the problem.

Generally yes, but it depends on what the scandal is.

It works like this in Sweden.
