ABC has sparked wild conspiracy theories after mistakenly airing election results for Pennsylvania. The results appeared on the ticker along the bottom of the screen during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix by ABC local affiliate WNEP-TV on Sunday. It showed Kamala Harris taking the state with 52 percent of the votes, while Donald Trump's share was 47 percent. It instantly prompted claims of election rigging on social media, with one person tweeting: 'The cheat is on.' WNEP-TV said that the numbers came up on the screen in 'error' and that they had been 'randomly generated' as part of a test ahead of election night on November 5.

The media calls Fla before the polls close. Lies about everything TRUMP. allows their “journalists “ to completely twist stores or leaves out the whole sound bite and runs just what THEY want people to see and hear. Half the time they don’t even cover the real news. Lies about riots, saying the riots are mostly peaceful. While right behind them people are setting fires to buildings and cop cars. Now I’m told by ABC to believe their election result projection is just pretend. The cheat is in. ABC goofed in showing it too soon. All of the media are just disgusting liars. Can’t be trusted at all

Something very similar to this happened in 2022. Before election day, an Arizona TV station displayed a “randomly generated” election results test on screen. The numbers showed Katie Hobbs (D) winning the governorship.

I think they showed those numbers on purpose. They are thumbing their nose at President Trump and his supporters, indicating they have more up their sleeve when they steal the election again. That is, they aren't worried in the slightest about the cheating, or anyone opposed to the cheating because they have the power of the Deep State to back them up!

If it was a test, why wouldn't you merely run the % at 50/50 to avoid any adverse comments, etc. Rather than skewing it ?

They did this once before as I recall and the winner was the Democrat in the real results. I continue to believe that this race isn't all as close as the media would have you believe, but to be honest I'm continuing to be afraid because the threat of the Big Cheat is very real. Who in their right mind would believe that Harris, who is devoid of the leadership gene (courtesy Holman Jenkins of the WSJ), could beat Trump or any other candidate? But overwhelm the Big Cheat with Republican votes!

Vice President Kamala Harris is on track to narrowly win the 2024 presidential election, according to a new analysis based on artificial intelligence (AI), with 276 Electoral College votes against 262 for Republican rival Donald Trump. British betting company Bonus Code Bets asked ChatGPT, an AI language model developed by OpenAI, to assess which candidate would win each state based on publicly available polling information, demographics and historic election results. It concluded that Harris would win the key swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada, but lose in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina.

MISSOULA, Mont. — A Washington state man accused of leading a wildlife trafficking ring on a Native American reservation that killed thousands of eagles and hawks to sell on the black market was sentenced Thursday to nearly four years in prison. The trafficking ring operated for years on the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwest Montana, exploiting high demand among tribal members for feathers and other bird parts that are used in powwows and sacred ceremonies. The defendant and others killed at least 118 eagles, 107 hawks and as many as 3,600 birds overall, prosecutors said. Juvenile golden eagles in particular were targeted because their black and white

The short answer to that question comes from George Orwell: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” Packed into that pithy aphorism is the explanation of the bitter struggle centering on the person of President Donald J. Trump. The dirty little secret of American history is that a largely left-leaning establishment has dominated our politics since 1932 and thereby framed our understanding of the past and goals for the future. Only two Republican presidents have held temporary majorities in both houses of Congress since then: Dwight D. Eisenhower and George W. Bush. Neither made a dent in the establishment’s control.
