WNEP-TV Mistakenly Airs Test Election Results

During a Formula 1 broadcast, ABC affiliate WNEP-TV mistakenly aired fabricated election results showing Vice President Kamala Harris winning Pennsylvania with 52% of the vote against Donald Trump's 47%. The station clarified that these numbers were 'randomly generated' test data meant for internal use, not reflective of actual voting, as Pennsylvania law prohibits counting ballots before election day. The incident sparked outrage on social media, leading to accusations of election rigging despite WNEP's insistence that it was an error. Critics highlighted previous instances of perceived media bias favoring Democrats, raising further distrust. Current polling indicates a tight race in Pennsylvania, with Trump slightly leading Harris by 0.7%. WNEP has since apologized for the confusion and promised to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
