According to several viral social media posts, a television station in Pennsylvania accidentally posted the state\u2019s presidential vote results more than a week before the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n

\u201cA local PA news station did a system \u2018test\u2019 for election results this weekend. You\u2019ll never guess what the \u2018results\u2019 were,\u201d one X post<\/a> says. Attached is a screenshot of a broadcast by WNEP 16\u2014an ABC affiliate covering northeastern Pennsylvania\u2014that shows 2024 election results at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n

The results show Kamala Harris defeating Donald Trump in Pennsylvania with 52 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWasn\u2019t it like Venezuela that did this, too, where they accidentally released some vote totals a few days before the election?\u201d asked one response<\/a> to the post. \u201cToo big to rig! We can\u2019t let them steal another election,\u201d says another<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The image also spread to Facebook, where users claimed it was proof that Pennsylvania vote totals were being rigged. \u201cSo has anyone seen this yet??? WNEP accidentally aired these PA results for the upcoming election!! And you\u2019re going to tell me they don\u2019t cheat??\u201d said one<\/a> user.<\/p>\n

The images are real, but the claim that it demonstrated election fraud in Pennsylvania is false. WNEP said the results were broadcast accidentally as part of a test by the station and did not show real vote totals.<\/p>\n

\u201cTest results for the upcoming November 5 general election mistakenly appeared on WNEP-TV early Sunday evening during a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix,\u201d the station said in a Sunday statement<\/a>. \u201cThe numbers seen on the screen were randomly generated test results sent out to help news organizations make sure their equipment is working properly in advance of election night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Election results from Pennsylvania are likely to be among the latest in the nation. Pennsylvania law prohibits<\/a> mail-in and absentee ballots from being processed before 7 a.m. on Election Day, and it could take multiple days<\/a> for some counties to count all of their mail-in votes.<\/p>\n
