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:
“It’s not important who votes,
it’s who counts the votes, that’s important. “
Interesting....
Probably just a test graphic with either bogus data, or perhaps projected data, prepared to test their system.
But something like this should never have been visible to the public before the votes are cast or being counted.
That’s a HUGE no-no and could be litigated against in terms of influencing the vote.
Let’s remember this thread.
If these are the numbers at midnight then NH folks would have wasted their time voting.
.
Dead voters voting?
When the dead make an effort to go to the polls, their vote should count extra.
Just a test run... news outlets have done this in the past.
well, teither someone posted something with bogus data and passed it off as real...or they had a test get out of hand.
whatever, it is clearly fixed now. see:

Yep... be interesting to see if this is close....
Is this Florida 2000?
And if they aren't the numbers, then Donald Trump will be demanding a do-over while telling us that ____________ cheated.
The all zeros only popped up in the last hour. Before that it had been displaying the “results” or their preference based on your POV.
What I found interesting is they had Rubio finishing second. They’ve been pushing him hard and this is a concrete display of their bias.
I think they are testing their graphics. This happened once before, when a test was posted before the vote. They even have the delegate count wrong - only 20 delegates are being apportioned, not 23. The last three delegates are unbound delegates.
I hope it’s wrong. I’d like to see Ted finish second. Get the rest of the pretenders out of the picture. Although I have my favorite, I have no problem voting for and supporting Mr. Cruz should he get the nod.
So, this is what the corrupt, organized criminal party apparatchik has come to. Scary, because it has to have been deliberately produced.
Total votes 'cast' in 2016 GOP primary cited above: 261,164...looks like Trump did drive some extra voters to the polls. :-)
This graphic gets who wins New Hampshire. Every poll, all the last 76 polls or so out of New Hampshire have Trump on top. Second, third places and so on are in question.
Fox is trying to make up with Trump! Some people will see that and never know the difference.
Household Six and I voted here in Amherst, NH, just before noon. Seemed to be doing a steady business.
It was interesting that the “Totem Poles” (People outside the polling place with candidate signs) did not include Bush, Rubio or Christie.
Two for Trump, one each for Carey and Kasich, non for Hitlery, and for whatever pathetic reason, there was an Ayotte sign in the ground!
I listened when I inserted my paper ballot into the reader and I didn’t hear the sound of a paper shredder, so the GOPe fell short on preparations this year!
Thanks for the post, very entertaining and informative.
