Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary Tuesday -- according to a premature Fox News report.

Citing every precinct reporting, Fox News' website accidentally published election results declaring Trump the winner with 28 percent support and 14 delegates.

"During routine testing in preparation for the New Hampshire primary a malfunction occurred which briefly showed errant data on our website," Fox News Chief Digital Officer Jeff Misenti said in a statement. "This error has been rectified. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

Not the 1st time this has happened. I suspect that is their polling data and they put it in to test the system. I believe ABC had the same sort of accident happen in 2012 during Election Day.

It’s already fixed:

It wasn’t up there too long and we do not know how it got there. A test? Hacked?

As it is, it is reporting the accurate 0% results now.

A test. They’ve broadcast their sound checks before, too.

Almost as strange as Clinton winning six coin tosses in a row in Iowa. This “election season” is starting to turn into a holiday weekend “Twilight Zone Marathon”.

Trump should win N.H. by 20+ points. ..anything less would seem a disappointment.

Super Tuesday, March 01 will be a much better indication of the course of the primary race.

Watch Hillary pull out a miracle win in NH tonight, make a quick victory speech, then get out of town. Could be a sign something stinks.

Well, I bet no one will be texting that some other candidate dropped out and is going home. Hopefully, everyone has learned this very valuable lesson from Iowa.

“I suspect that is their polling data and they put it in to test the system.”

No Test Environment?

Or, “It’s not working in Test, maybe it will work in Production.”
