A local Fox News tv station has some major explaining to do…
Fox 10 News in Arizona recently aired a graphic that depicted Republican Kari Lake losing her election to Democrat Katie Hobbs.
The graphic depicted Hobbs with 53% of the vote whereas Lake only had 47% of the vote but the insane part about it is the election is 12 days away.
Watch the moment it occurred here:

In response, the tv station released this statement:
“At 5:50p during the Fox 10 newscast today a small graphic appeared on the lower left side of the screen showing test results for the upcoming election. These were generated by the Associated Press which distributes results to clients,” FOX 10 said in a pair of tweets. “This graphic was never meant to go on air — the numbers were only part of a test. The station has taken steps to make sure this cannot happen again.”

The Washington Examiner added these details:
A local TV news station in Arizona is apologizing after airing a graphic showing Katie Hobbs, the Democratic nominee for governor, as the winner in her race 12 days out from the midterm elections.
The graphic, which appeared Thursday afternoon on FOX 10 Phoenix at the bottom left-hand part of the screen, showed Hobbs with 53% support compared to 47% for Republican nominee Kari Lake. Hobbs, who is currently Arizona’s secretary of state, had a check by her number, indicating she was the victor.
