Illinois News Station Mistakenly Airs Election Results Day Before Primary, Showing Joe Biden Victory
Breitbart ^ | 3/17/2020 | Hannah bleau

The local Illinois news station WCIA mistakenly aired Election Day results on Monday, showing former Vice President Joe Biden (D) winning, the day before the state’s Tuesday primary election.

A video went viral on Monday, showing WCIA airing Tuesday’s election results during a Monday showing of The Price is Right. The results showed Biden defeating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) by just over 93,000 votes.

“While watching The Price is Right our station accidentally runs tomorrow’s election results … its [sic] Monday our election in Illinois is tomorrow,” the woman, Sherry Daughtery, wrote alongside a video:

She updated her post with a statement from Mark Maxwell, the station’s Capitol Bureau Chief, who said it was nothing more than a “routine test” rehearsal. Airing the dry run, he said, was an error. He stressed that the numbers were not based on any actual polling returns and added that the station “never intended to give the wrong information or wrong impression”:

I believe that is why Joe Biden is winning anyway. They have all been rigged elections since South Carolina. Oops, cat’s out of the bag. Will Bernie quietly take this or will he come out swinging? That;s the real question here. 8>)

The Bernie Bros will love that. Biden winning was cooked in before the vote. Now they can protest the convention.

Riiight!!! This was blatant election tampering by the DNC machine. The Illinois gov’t is wholly owned by the DNC. This was a purposeful transmission to the Illinois dem voters of, “all is lost. Resistance is futile.”

The forces involved with the left decide who will “win”. The Bernie Bros are back in the basement and Bernie increased his net worth. The senile,perverted,old cracker Joe is what faces President Trump. I would think Bidet does have 60 million ready made votes just because.....hate Trump.

It happens every year. TV stations and newspapers dummy up their graphics so they are ready to fill in the numbers later. Sometimes they escape.

It's like writing obituaries early.

Tragedy today as former President Gerald Ford was eaten by wolves. He was delicious.

From the article:

“He stressed that the numbers were not based on any actual polling returns . . .”

But that pretty much standard for just about every election in Illinois.
