Hey, did you hear that Kamala Harris won the election? ABC affiliate broadcast a graphic showing Kamala Harris with 52 percent of the vote to Donald Trump’s 47 percent.
Ask yourself why ABC put up 2024 election results today showing a Kamala victory..
They called it a test… 😳 pic.twitter.com/rRP7ETHbg3

Yes, they were just running a test of their election reporting system.
WNEP Scranton “mistakenly” showed the Pennsylvania results for the 2024 election.
The ABC News affiliate called it a “test” run.

“Those numbers should not have appeared on the screen, and it was an error by WNEP that they did,” the station explained, adding that the numbers were “randomly generated.”
“Random.” LOL
More like the results they want to see happen. Give us a break.

Holy shit. PA is the key. And they know it.

If it was truly a test, as they claim, why didn’t they have it at a 50-50 tie? They could test just as easily without making one candidate win.

Hmmm. That seems odd. Why would they choose to test it during a live event like that.
Don’t they have a single backup system in their whole building?

This happens every presidential cycle. It’s intentional, though I don’t know why they do it.

These “mistakes” only ever go one way

A test run, to test to see if anyone would notice
