ABC affiliate mistakenly airs false election results showing Kamala Harris winning Pennsylvania
ABC affiliate WNEP-TV mistakenly aired election results showing Vice President Kamala Harris winning Pennsylvania with 52% of the vote over Donald Trump’s 47%. The graphic appeared during a Formula 1 broadcast, leading to confusion and online speculation. WNEP-TV clarified that the numbers were random test data, not actual results. They apologized for the error and stated that Pennsylvania law prohibits counting mail-in ballots until Election Day. Currently, Harris and Trump are in a tight race in Pennsylvania, with Trump holding a slight lead in recent polls. The election is set for November 5, 2024.
