Pennsylvania TV Station Error Fuels Election Conspiracy Theories

WNEP-TV accidentally aired test election results, sparking unfounded claims of vote rigging.

The incident occurred during a Formula 1 broadcast when a graphic mistakenly showed Kamala Harris winning Pennsylvania.
WNEP-TV clarified that the numbers were randomly generated for equipment testing and not actual vote counts.
Conservative media and social media users seized on the error as supposed evidence of election fraud.
Pennsylvania law prohibits counting mail-in ballots before Election Day, ensuring no actual results were available.
Similar test errors have happened before, notably in Detroit in 2020 and Phoenix in 2022, without indicating fraud.
