   [Deep "gay" State...] ABC station mistak

   An ABC station ignited a flurry of conspiracy theories after it aired what   
   appeared to be official election results for Pennsylvania that showed   
   Kamala Harris easily winning the key swing state — more than a week before   
   Election Day.   
      
   The shocking result popped up at the bottom of the screen during Sunday’s   
   broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-   
   TV, which serves the northern part of the Keystone State.   
      
   It showed the vice president capturing 52% of the votes, compared to 47%   
   for Republican challenger Donald Trump, with 100% of the precincts   
   reporting.   
      
   The graphic caused a stir on social media, prompting claims of election   
   rigging.   
      
   One user posted on X: “The cheat is on.”   
      
   WNEP-TV said the results came up on the screen in “error” and that they   
   had been “randomly generated” as part of a test ahead of the Nov. 5   
   election.   
      
   “Those numbers should not have appeared on the screen, and it was an error   
   by WNEP that they did,” the station told the Daily Mail, which first   
   reported the story.   
      
   “The numbers seen on the screen were randomly generated test results sent   
   out to help news organizations make sure their equipment is working   
   properly in advance of election night.”   
      
   The broadcaster continued: “The numbers were not reflective of any actual   
   vote count. Pennsylvania law does not allow mail-in ballots to be taken   
   out of their envelopes until 7:00 a.m. on Election Day, and no votes of   
   any kind will be counted in Pennsylvania until after the polls close at   
   8:00 p.m. WNEP regrets the error and apologizes for any confusion. We have   
   taken steps to ensure that it does not happen again.”   
      
   Trump is up by a razor-thin margin of 0.7% in Pennsylvania, garnering   
   48.2% to Harris’ 47.5%, according to data from Real Clear Politics.   
      
   In the 2020 election, Joe Biden eked out a victory in Pennsylvania by the   
   narrowest of margins, beating Trump by 80,555 votes, or 1.17% — and   
   snatching the state’s 20 electoral votes to win the presidency.   
      
   Trump supporters began circulating the footage from WNEP-TV’s broadcast   
   and weighing in on the error.   
      
   “ABC is cheating for the Democrat machine. Their license should be   
   revoked,” wrote one user.   
      
   Another person added: “If the same graphics pop up after November 5th,   
   with the same percentages & the same vote count, it’ll be EXTREMELY   
   suspicious. And the media wonders why nobody trusts them?”   
      
   Disney-owned ABC has been under fire during the election season, following   
   the network’s airing of the presidential debate on September 10. Critics   
   accused ABC News and moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis of bias in   
   favor of Harris.   
      
   Conservative commentators claimed that the moderators continued to fact-   
   check Trump while they left Harris alone.   
      
   There have also been dueling profiles from the Wall Street Journal and New   
   York Times, detailing the close friendship between Harris and Disney exec   
   Dana Walden, who is in the running to become the company’s CEO, which has   
   raised eyebrows.   
      
   For her part, Walden has tried to distance herself from the news division   
   of the Mouse House, despite a history of political donations and   
   fundraising efforts for Harris.
