If you want to cheat at the elections, you don't run around telling media outlets what the results are. If you want to cheat you tell as few people as possible, because one leak means game over. Running around with fake data submitting to media companies, assuming they will play along, and all their employees play along, is asking for failure.

Democrats are stupid, but they aren't that stupid. I buy that this was just people at the station fucking up - because it makes a lot more sense.
