For 17 seconds, Phoenix, Arizona CBS News affiliate KPHO ran a lower third graphic that showed that Obama had won the Nov. 6 election over Gov. Mitt Romney with 99% of the precincts reporting. The lower third graphic appeared around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 19

Looks like the fix is in... nice to know they played their hand early the rat bastards.

I would not be shocked at all to learn that they had graphics already made up for both.  Some one just clicked the wrong file.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

Just like at the DNC convention where the teleprompter already had the outcome of the floor vote.

According to the article they were testing software, so somebody had to feed the data to the computer to be displayed.  I wouldn't read TO much into it, but it is curious. 
When seconds mean the difference between life and death, the police will be minutes away.

You are either SOLVING the problem, or you ARE the problem.

That's why you have "B" Control.  So you can test things "off the air".

"Dewey beats Truman"

Now THAT is a scoop  ;D ;D ;D
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Alf is correct!

There are only two ways to explain this, and they both point to somebody trying to make a point for their favorite.

If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

The idea behind the Constitutional protections of our God given rights it RESPONSIBILITY!

If these idiots can't act responsible they are not fit to speak and print for public consumption!

Several years ago it was determined through scientific research that several factors influenced votes and even voter turn out.  That is the reason they stopped poll results until after the last polls closed.  It is time to quit this speculation!
