With the American Primary Elections just 12 days away a local news station in Arizona flashed a graphic on screen that appears to show the winning results ahead of schedule.
The graphic showed Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs winning with 1,252,437 votes (53%) and a checkmark symbol next to her name; and Republican Kari Lake – whom Second Nexus deems to be a “MAGA Republican conspiracy theorist” – losing with 1,102,326 votes (47%).
Some viewers noticed this and reported their findings on social media, to which ignited a firestorm of responses.
U.S. House of Representatives candidate Paul Gosar – who declares he is a “Trump endorsed” candidate in his Twitter bio – ridiculed this ‘mistake.’
Republican candidate Lake also chimed in writing, “WOAH.. right after my press conference going after the Media. Retaliation?”
A handful of hours later Fox 10 Phoenix, the broadcasting station that displayed this graphic, posted to Twitter acknowledging the image overlayed on screen. However, the station did not directly say that the results were necessarily wrong, but did say that the station received these “generated” numbers from the Associated Press, and that they promise it will not happen again.
This response generated enough buzz that another local station, WTVC News Channel 9, whose parent company is ABC, tried to help quench some concerns people may have.
Making you aware that before every election night, the @AP
tests its election results system –which we use– to make sure it’s running properly.You can’t test it properly without putting numbers in to test it.
This is not some nefarious, election-rigging plot. FYI.
Another journalist chimed in and said this actually more common than people realize, to which ABC 9 replied with, “We’re waiting until the day before to test ours for this very reason.”
The story has generated enough hoopla that Insider also chimed in on the “conspiracy theories” that were being generated. Moreover, fact-checker PolitiFact ruled this debacle as “Half True,” for airing the election the results earlier than the actual date.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
In March of 2020, right when the world was losing its collective minds and the U.S. was starting to lockdown, a similar thing occurred on CBS during an airing of “The Price is Right;” depicting Biden beating out Bernie Sanders for the state of Illinois. I covered this in a since deleted video per The WinePress’ channel termination by YouTube. However, I took a screenshot of that video so you can see the proof, and read the article about it here.
For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
Luke 8:17
I’m sure I’ll be labeled a “conspiracy theorist,” but this is just another example of just how rigged all these elections are. And if the news media truly does pump-out artificial graphics ahead of time to “test” – as if the broadcasters need practice doing something they do every single day – then it only further adds to the validity that these people are just psychopathic, and live and breathe lies.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

More confirmation that they are liars. The elections aren’t elections, they’re selections of puppets.
Correct!
That is correct
WTVC News Channel 9? That’s based in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is one of my local TV news stations! Maybe it’s just a moot point, but why would a Tennessee-based station comment on an issue like this relating to the (s)election for the Governor of Arizona?
Really? That’s even weirder.
