WNEP-TV accidentally aired test election results during a Formula 1 broadcast, showing VP Kamala Harris leading Trump.

WNEP-TV, an ABC affiliate in Pennsylvania, mistakenly aired test election results during a Formula 1 broadcast, showing Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump 52% to 47%. The station clarified the numbers were randomly generated for equipment testing and not actual vote counts. This error, occurring shortly before Election Day, sparked conspiracy theories about election integrity, despite Pennsylvania laws prohibiting early mail-in ballot processing.
