Yes, I saw that, but I also know that I don't believe it was a "mistake". Same day they do that, there was a TV station that did the same thing? Some "coincidence". I think they are trying to discourage voting.

I think you're right. A lot of people will see those screens and NOT know that it's a test with bogus results.
Really a brilliant bit of Psyops.

Indeed! I might believe one such "accident", but two in one day? Most people don't bother to even check into such things, either. Heck, I am related to one that doesn't, and who won't even discuss politics at all. Acts like it doesn't affect them. Go figure...

Yeah, it's hard to believe that two out of a few thousand media outlets would accidentally broadcast a test of something related to the Presidential election, just a few weeks before the election.
Oh wait, no it;s not.

First of all, do you really think they don't have other ways of "testing" their screens, other than actually broadcasting them to countless people?
Secondly, would a "test" screen have to be filled out with real names & real (believable) numbers?
This was no accident. They wanted those bogus numbers seen by God only knows how many people.
Do you understand what a subliminal message is?
It's used in advertising all the time to sway potential customers.

Dingleberry, you look at the link you posted lately? It says:
"If you are seeing results prior to Nov. 6, 2012, please note that these are NOT results of the election/early voting results, but rather a system test. We apologize for the inconvenience."
In other news: THE SKY IS FALLING!
MARION — Joan Stevens was one of several early voters at the polls on Monday. But when Stevens tried to cast her ballot for president, she noticed a problem.
Upon selecting “Mitt Romney” on the electronic touch screen, Barack Obama’s name lit up.
It took Stevens three tries before her selection was accurately recorded.
“You want to vote for who you want to vote for, and when you can’t it’s irritating,” Stevens said.
Stevens said she alerted Jackie Smith, a board of elections member who was present. Smith declined to comment, but Stevens says she mentioned that the machine had been having problems all day.
Stevens also reported the issue to Sophia Rogers, the director of the board of elections for Marion County.
Rogers said the machine worked fine when she and others tried voting on it. No one else had reported problems with the voting machines malfunctioning.
Rogers suggested the issue may have been caused by not hitting the button directly or tapping with more than one finger. Stevens was aware the machine had to be operated a certain way.
“I know how to do the voting,” Stevens said.
