Uh... Fox News Calls NH for Trump, with Vote Totals and Percentages

by Aurelius

I don't know exactly what's going on, but Fox News has not only called New Hampshire for Donald Trump, but they've included vote totals for each of the candidate and percentages.

Obviously the votes haven't been cast this early and the counting begins in 11 hours. Explain this:

Maybe it was a practice session that got broadcast by mistake?

Another test graphic aired by accident probably.

Not into Rubio being second, but these results would make me happy with regard to the other establishment types. I could see 3 of the following dropping out based on these results: Bush, Fiorina, Carson, Kasich and Christie.

It happens a lot on election days as they test the software for that night. Some of the projected results are scarily accurate, but most often they fail.

You didn’t know voting was rigged?

Can this be likened to 105% of the eligible voters voting?

That has been on Fox since at least 830 this morning. I saw it. Not sure if it is a test page or what.

It’s a template for broadcast tonight. These numbers will be replaced with actual numbers later.

It all says zero now at the Fox website. I’m guessing someone was testing their web app with dummy percentages and the blogger just happened to see it.

It’s all part of the narrative. They got Rubio into 2nd place to start his ascent. The veil just slipped a little. that’s all. The polls are use to ebb and flow what they want the topics to be about. This was the slow ascent of Rubio, blah blah blah. And we know Fox is is biggest fan, so it makes sense.

Not the 1st time this has happened to a Network. They run a drill to make sure everything is working. I think the last time this happened it was ABC that made the mistake.

I think you’ve pegged this. They’ve got Rubio second and Kasich fourth when it will probably be just the opposite. Fox News bias?

It’s the old “Your guy is winning easily, so you don’t have to bother going out and vote” trick.

Martha McCollum campaigned for her 2 hours for Jeb and Rubio. Argued with Donald Trump about....eminent domain...of all things!

She was ignorant. Didn't mention that GWB made about $14 million from eminent domain with taxpayer backed bond $$$. (TX Ranger baseball park...privately owned)

On the site your link is fir has Explain this, with this being another link to the site they are supposedly reporting on. Did you bother to click that link? I did and this is what comes up

Apparently you fell for the lie this site was trying to pass off as the truth. The results are all zeroes as are the percentages, and no one is called the winner. Which begs the question what is up with that site?
