For 17 seconds, Phoenix, Arizona CBS News affiliate KPHO ran a lower third graphic that showed that Obama had won the Nov. 6 election over Gov. Mitt Romney with 99% of the precincts reporting. The lower third graphic appeared around 3:30 p.m. on Oct. 19, during an episode of “The People’s Court.” The CBS News graphic showed Obama winning the election with 43 percent of the vote nationwide to Romney’s 40 percent -– or 40,237,966 votes to 38,116,216. It is unclear who garnered the other 17 percent in the fictional election results. KPHO’s general manager did not return The Daily Caller’s request for comment by time of publication." Update: "Michele Wallace of KPHO told TheDC that this was the result of a mistake made with a test graphic" Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:49:20 EDT en http://www.politicollision.com/story.php?title=put-on-your-chains-election-called-for-obama-#c15129 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 05:03:50 EDT Fender Stratocaster 1 15129 http://www.politicollision.com/story.php?title=put-on-your-chains-election-called-for-obama-#c15124 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 00:40:52 EDT drmangrum 2 15124 http://www.politicollision.com/story.php?title=put-on-your-chains-election-called-for-obama-#c15122 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:13:53 EDT 12th_Man 1 15122 http://www.politicollision.com/story.php?title=put-on-your-chains-election-called-for-obama-#c15109 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:54:21 EDT Mortis 2 15109
