https://www.yahoo.com/news/abc-accidentally-declares-kamala-harris-153258980.html

An ABC News station mistakenly declared that Kamala Harris had won the battleground state of Pennsylvania days before election day.

WNEP-TV, an ABC affiliate in Scranton, Pennsylvania, broadcast that Ms Harris had won 52 per cent of the votes to Donald Trumps 47 per cent on Sunday during a Formula One race.

The station explained that the message had been mistakenly aired while testing its equipment ahead of polling day, but the blunder has fuelled conspiracy theories that the election is being rigged.

The result flashed up on TV screens on Sunday during the Mexico City Grand Prix, showing that Ms Harris had taken 3,293,712 votes to Trumps 2,997,793 with 100 per cent of precincts reporting.

If that were repeated on Nov 5, it could seal the election for the vice-president. Pennsylvania has the largest number of electoral college votes of any swing state, and has been won by every victorious presidential candidate since 2008.

WNEP-TV said the results had been randomly generated during a test ahead of election day and came up on the screen in error.

Those numbers should not have appeared on the screen, and it was an error by WNEP that they did, it said in a statement to the Daily Mail.

The broadcaster continued: The numbers were not reflective of any actual vote count. Pennsylvania law does not allow mail-in ballots to be taken out of their envelopes until 7am on election day, and no votes of any kind will be counted in Pennsylvania until after the polls close at 8pm.

WNEP regrets the error and apologises for any confusion. We have taken steps to ensure that it does not happen again.

Pennsylvania has already become a focus for unproven claims of vote-rigging ahead of election day.

An unfortunate error.

They'll use someone sneezing suspiciously 5 miles from a ballot box as evidence of election fraud.

This really doesn't move the needle.

Thing is it grants a mirage of substance to Trump's ramblings. Trump earlier claimed both that ABC was all-in for Harris and that Dems were rigging PA. Then this mistake happens. Now imagine Harris actually wins PA with 52%. Even some conservatives who don't normally buy Trump's BS could be drawn in.

A.) Stupid ass dumb ass conservatives are feeding into the "Loss = Rigged, Win = Fair" mindset no matter what happens. This changes literally nothing. If Trump loses, there will be litigation well past the point he's cold in the ground. It does not matter.

The problem isn't your choice of word.

The problem is your idea changes nothing. If people are susceptible to voter fraud propaganda, they will inexorably be drawn to something else eventually, if it hasn't happened already.

Again, it does not change anything. If people are susceptible to propaganda, they will be got eventually, no matter what happens. Trump will continue to cry about rigged elections, even if he wins. The only difference will be;

"I lost because it was rigged"

vs

"I managed to win a rigged elections anyways"

Nothing.

Fucking.

Changes.

He keeps claiming to be "undecided" until he has all the supposed information he needs, but we're not as dumb as he thinks we are. He constantly carries water for the fascists and demonizes Democrats for every last little misstep he can find, so it's pretty obvious where he's coming from.

Yeah, they're really going to run with this. They flipped out badly enough when Fox News "called Arizona for Biden hours before he won the state" That caused such a massive backlash that Fox lost a LOT of viewers (I think between 15 to 25% of them)

Guys, I don't know anything about Diceheist's posting history, but he is definitely spot on about this. Though it's worth noting that most of those people are hardcore anti-liberal cultists. The problem is that there will still be swing voters gullible enough to believe this *esp. the ones prone to both-sideism* and in addition to the unfortunate implications this could have for the election, it's also outrage porn for the chuds who might react violently against liberals and "RINOs" to a Trump loss (or even a Trump win.)
