I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but Fox News has not only called New Hampshire for Donald Trump, but they’ve included vote totals for each of the candidate and percentages.
Obviously the votes haven’t been cast this early and the counting begins in 11 hours. Explain this:
Brad called fox and told them “Don’t make me come up there”
Gilmore is toying with the rest of the field. His clever strategy is to hang out for months at 0% and then POUNCE!
It’s all zero’s now with no winner.
I don’t think this is about Trump. It’s about Kasich, and the “shocking upset” he will have pulled off when he “turns the pollsters on their heads” and comes in 2nd or 3rd. Or even 1st, if you believe some of the wish-casting out there.
Everything I have seen has been touting Kasich to do very well in NH. I think Fox is arcing out some Stray Voltage and lowering expectations in case the Kasich momentum turns out to be just hype.
@Nav – Its a vast right winged conspiracy!
Looks like it was just a trial run.
obviously an electronic vote fraud glitch – nothing to see here move along

Faux premature immaculation
FOX slips further into the quagmire of slimy media hyping, biased, crisis creating story telling. ‘Fair and Balanced’ my substantial butt!
Most likely this is another example of the typical technical incompetence of the “news” media these days.
They probably had a test run of their system with some phony numbers (probably from one of the polls) and when they put the screen up forgot to clear the numbers. (which apparently they’ve now done).
Otherwise it’s likely an attempt to get Trump, by scaring the people who support the other candidates “Trump’s winning you’d better get out there and vote” while also discouraging Trump’s supporters “Trump’s got it won, no reason for you to bother to vote”
That wasn’t supposed to be released until all the pretend votes were cast and “counted”.
🙂
I’m on the “software testing glitch gone public” side,
but on the FUN side…
it will be great to compare this with the finals!
iOTWreport has just called next year’s World Series for the Mets.
Didn’t Fox just call C-Thrubio “robotic” and “glitchy”?
Seeing them back-to-back, it’s hard to decide which is the circus that mocks the intelligence of The People more:
the Stupid Bowl, or a Presidential Election?
They are both fraudulent and raucous; and the outcome predetermined in order to maximize the ‘haul’.
Everything American that involves big money is fraught with deceit and corralling of opinion (polls, advertising, dog & pony shows…)
Fox contributing to MORE voter fraud.
Never blame conspiracy when mere incompetence will explain it. They were probably test-firing the system, and fucked up letting it go live without resetting.
Is it even legal to release their projections before the polls are closed?
It’s all been pulled and put back into Alphabetical order now.
I’m not believing it until I hear Steve Harvey announce the winner!
Obviously that’s a photoshop! One of those “Republican candidates” is a woman, and that last one isn’t even White!!! Surely that graphic was created by The People’s Onion or that big Fir Hut guy!
TO harbqll
Don’t forget the last, key part of that axiom:
…but don’t exclude the possibility of malice.
@Fur ~ wasn’t that same thing predicted last year?
@Molon Labe…
Maybe he’s “glitchy” where the Mets are concerned.
“Dewey Wins!”
Still gonna be Clinton.
