WNEP-TV mistakenly airs test poll showing Kamala Harris winning Pennsylvania
WNEP-TV mistakenly aired test poll results showing Vice President Kamala Harris winning Pennsylvania ahead of the November 5 election. The broadcaster clarified that the numbers were randomly generated for equipment testing and did not represent actual votes. The erroneous results indicated Harris leading Donald Trump 52% to 47%. This incident occurred during coverage of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix, prompting backlash on social media. WNEP-TV acknowledged the mistake and stated the numbers should not have been shown. A recent CNN poll shows Harris and Trump tied at 48% in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state. Harris leads Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin, but Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes remain crucial for both candidates.
