Fox News Accidentally Announces Trump the Winner of New Hampshire

According to Fox News, more than six hours before the polls close, Donald Trump won New Hampshire with 28% of the vote. Florida Senator Sen. Marco Rubio slid into second with 15%. Cruz took third place with– but not really. In one of those online glitches that inevitably occurs on election day, Fox News accidentally and prematurely declared Trump the winner.

Good way to suppress the vote…then they will say Trump only got X% and really did not do so good…

Remember those percentages. If they come in exactly it proves they know the results before a vote is even cast. Of course, my conspiracy mind tells me they will change them by a few points.

Maybe they did it to make Cruz voters think the election was over and to not bother voting....

They must have leaked early exit poll results.

But don’t be cocksure. Kerry thought leaked exit polls in 2004 made him President.

The raw vote totals said different a couple of hours later.

Trump’s at 40%

28 would be a huge disappointment.

Reminds me of Florida, 2000.

I don’t think we’ll be counting hanging chads tonight.

It won’t be a federal case.

What is wrong with these media people? They are never satisfied and feel they must continually do things to manipulate election results.

Freeper Proust notified me of this at 06:20:28pst this morning.

The full vote was all lied out.

I surmise they were testing, but it was there.

He has a copy. If the figures match at the end of the day...

LOOK OUT!

Cruz won Iowa and it made no difference if it was 20 points or 1 but if Trump gets 28% instead of 40 he loses?? 40 % was never predicted . If he wins by 1 point he still wIns as any other candidate would.

I was in Florida when they called it

First it was a tight race

Second the Panhandle is huge GOP and in Central time

I thing the final was less than 700 votes and this isn't the case.

GW Bush won the panhandle by 70% of the vote
