MSNBC, the left-wing cable news network, mistakenly displayed the results of the Florida governor race, declaring Democrat Andrew Gillum the winner, before polls even opened.
Today’s Florida governor race
The Florida governor race is tight, and, as of now, Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum has the edge over Trump-endorsed Ron DeSantis. Gillum, however, is dogged by multiple incidents of corruption. (RELATED: Dem Nominee For Florida Governor Is Progressive Mayor With Corruption Investigation Swirling Around Him.)
But as Florida voters go to the polls today, MSNBC has apparently informed them that the race is over. The Washington Times reports:
MSNBC, a day before the elections — on Monday evening, before polls even opened for on-site voting — put up a graphic on screen, on air, that showed the “vote counts” of the Florida governor’s race with Democrat Andrew Gillum leading Republican Ron DeSantis with a 49.4 percent to 48.8 percent lead. Oh, and that’s with nearly all the district numbers counted.

MSNBC’s accidental graphic
Here is the graphic in question:
MSNBC accidentally shows false results of Tomorrow’s election that has not happened in Florida showing socialist Gillum in slight lead against @RonDeSantisFL. Wishful thinking? What do you think https://t.co/IHaTFIAYEq

Let’s be charitable and assume this was an honest mistake. News networks make graphics in advance all the time. What’s discomfiting about this particular graphic is its specificity. Were the actual number of votes chosen at random? Is it a prediction?

The winner of today’s governor race in Florida
Regardless, MSNBC is surely engaging in wishful thinking here. The network is painfully biased against President Trump and openly roots for Democrat victories. Perhaps this was just over exuberance on the part of the channel’s producers.
As always, we’ll only know the results of the Florida governor race – and every other race today for that matter – once the polls close.
Happy election day!
THIS WAS NO MISTAKE

Who could possibly be shocked that MSNBC did something like this?
I’ll accept it was an accident if MSNBC admits they’re amateurs.
lets get real, this was done purposely in an effort to change the outcome of the election. MSNBC decided that if they post a graphic showing gillium was ahead or had won it would make some people who whould vote against gillium decide to not waste their time and either not go out and vote or throw their drop off ballots in the garbage and just stay home. there are no accidents when it comes to the liberal progressive agenda, they plot and plan every single move and discouraging republicans from voting against their candidates is all part of the plan for each election. another state liberal progressive terrorist party home page was falsly claiming that hunters should not vote (90% of all hunters are going to be conservatives) because they could lose their hunts that were drawn for that year. of course that is a false misleading statement but the liberal progressive terrorist party posted that anyway in hopes that some hunting conservatives would say well hell with that I am not goig to chance losing my ability to hunt this year and not vote against the liberal progressive terrorist party candidate. when reagan refered to the axis of evil back in the 80s he may not have included the liberal progressive movement inside the democratic party, but as we can clearly see the liberal progressive democrats are truely the axis of evil who will not let any laws. ethics, morals or common sense get in the way of their attempts to dictate what every living human being in the world can think, do, say, and believe! the axis of evil must be destroyed or we are all doomed!

If Madcow’s prediction holds true, guess what? I’M going to chalk it up to Russian election interference and demand an FBI investigation.

She has caught “MAD COW DISEASE” Denny Crane.
I remember the last time this happened and a lot of dems stayed home…. Thank you msnbc…

That would be great except they are a cable broadcast channel. They are not subject to FCC licensing.
This pond scum needs to have their FCC License revoked for the constant lies. Is this just a mistake hell know this is a total attempt to influence an elections and all involved need to be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law.

This is just business as usual with MSNBC!

The videos of Gillum’s black campaign director, calling Florida a “Cracker State,”
and Project Veritas’ video affirming Gillum’s ‘helper’ stating “most nursery rhymes
begin with once upon a time…he said once upon an election…”
Gillum’s lie of a $50,000 salary for teachers, and compensation up-graded for existing
teachers, and free medical care was just so much B.S.
If this lying socialist gets into office, perhaps some Conservatives / Republicans might
use a page from the Damn c Rats playbook…resist, resist, resist ANY of Gillum’s
Obama give-aways, that Florida citizens have to pay for.
Does he plan to review state and federal third generation welfare recipients, that exist on
the tax dollar, and push able individuals, that CAN work, into employment ?
These “new” employees can become taxpayers, instead of Professional Welfare Recipients.
President Trump 2020 MAGA Vote Conservative !! Please.
Shades of November 2016.

If FOX did this, there would be investigations, demands for heads to roll, etc. A liberal news outlet does it … crickets. Any wonder why we want a RED TSUNAMI or as one of the people put it RUBY TUESDAY.

MSNBC is just as we all thought to be. FAKE NEWS. Mika is such a low blow to all who spent their time to actually to vote. And no Mika is not right nobody believes a thing she and Joe have to say. They are nothing more than morens for thinking they are so superior. Come next Monday they will have nothing to say cause they are all burned out. Let Joe go and play his guitars and Mika came please return to France as your time here is done. MSNBC will be just the same as always a channel that only knows FAKE NEWS. Maybe bye bye Morning Joe.

I understand the outrage. I couldn’t even sample MSNBC back when Ed Schultz had a ludicrous show.
Unfortunately, this does not violate US Federal election law which is governed by 18 US Code Chapter 29 Sections 591 through 612. It only applies to elected federal offices.
If it violated Florida election law, the Attorney General of Florida could sue MSNBC or possibly lodge criminal charges. I am unfamiliar with Florida election law. A Florida licensed lawyer would need to be consulted.
String ’em up. Trying to sway the vote, and what they did is against the law. PROSECUTE Maddow.

THIS IS DIRECT INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTIONS AND IS ILLEGAL AND MSNBC NEEDS TAKEN UP BY THE D O J IF THEY HAVE THE GUTS TO DO SO!
Lying, misleading, deceiving, obfuscating, Provocateurs, prevaricators , perjurers, Communists, all Democrat résumé enhancements. Florida need needs not count the vote. They have been given the count already.

Using the words “honest mistake” when referring to MSNBC is going a bit too far!

It was God in the form of an MSNBC employee who came back from the asylum. She was directed to put the kabosh on Gillum in order to save America from Satan’s helpers, (fake media and crazy dems). hehe

On MSNBC, it’s mostly Democrats who would see it and might think they don’t need to vote. So, it would be silly to think it was intentional.
