Last night MSNBC accidentally aired election results in the Florida Gubernatorial race that showed Gillum beating DeSantis by almost 50,000 votes:
via DeadLine:
“Quick clarification here,” a rather embarrassed All In host Chris Hayes told viewers. “Just want to say, earlier this hour, uh, we showed a graphic of the Florida gubernatorial race. May have caught your eye because our system had inadvertently populated some test numbers. Obviously, we do not yet have any vote totals here, the night before the election. That was a misfire. Don’t worry. I was pretty confused when I saw it up there, to see it myself.”
And, of course, MSNBC had Democrat Andrew Gillum leading the GOP’s Ron DeSantis by six-tenths of a percentage point with 99% of the ballots counted.
Of course.
It was just a goof on their part as they were testing their system. We understand. And someone has to win in their test, so they picked their favorite candidate. I can also easily imagine the left going nuts if this accidentally aired on Fox News last night showing DeSantis winning. So let’s not make too much of this. But it is funny.
In other news from last night, Trump supporters sang Amazing Grace while someone was attended to in the crowd:
