Obama over Romney victory result shown in advance on CBS Television banner.

Didn't a similar thing happened in Ireland when a YES victory appeared on Sky news days before the official result if the second Lisbon referendum result came out? Could this be evidence of election rigging in advance?

The 2012 presidential election is still more than two weeks away, but on Friday a CBS News affiliate in Arizona called the race for President Barack Obama.

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, during an episode of “The People’s Court.”

The CBS News graphic showed Obama winning the election with 43 percent of the vote nationwide to Romney’s 40 percent -– or 40,237,966 votes to 38,116,216. It is unclear who garnered the other 17 percent in the fictional election results.

KPHO’s general manager did not return The Daily Caller’s request for comment by time of publication.

UPDATE 12:10 p.m.:

Michele Wallace of KPHO told TheDC that this was the result of a mistake made with a test graphic:

“On Friday October 19th during a test of KPHO- CBS 5’s election returns software we inadvertently aired a test graphic for about 15 seconds in an episode of Peoples Court,” Wallace said. “The mistake was caught quickly and taken off the screen. With the election about 2 weeks away, the TV station routinely tests its equipment to ensure our viewers have the very latest’s results on election night. We regret the error and apologize to any viewer who was confused by the mistake.”

So do you expect 17% of the votes to go to anyone other than Obama or Romney? Really?

It's a mistake.

Stop reading that Pakalertpress nonsense site about aliens and whatnot.

Because we all know if the Government are going to rig the election, they'll be sure to tell all the media outlets.

So its a "mistake".

The same tape will no doubt be replayed in two weeks time.

Makes perfect sense now.

So it's a "mistake". No doubt the main stream media will try to peddle us off with the fact that he travelled the speed of sound.

This was a local broadcast, so that would mean that all over the states, in every cbs affilliate partaking in this conspiracy? Presumably it's not the first time they've done this. So hundreds (thousands?) of people for decades have all kept quiet about this?

Let's see - this is about your umpteenth thread which is complete rubbish, and tops off the "fly on Minister Shatter's shoulder" one nicely. So it's a forum holiday this time, I think.
