A South Florida CBS affiliate, CBS 12, posted the primary election results for over a half-dozen races last night to their website, days before the final votes are to be counted. Florida’s final absentee ballots and in-person election day voting occurs on Tuesday from 7am to 7pm. Despite this, congressional candidate Laura Loomer, who is running in the Republican primary to take on far-left career politician Lois Frankel, found herself shocked to see that 100% of precincts reporting their tallies late Sunday night.
The “results” showed the establishment candidates facing Loomer with a lion’s share of the votes and the journalist turned candidate barely snagging a few thousand votes. Given the fact that Loomer has built a massive volunteer army and raised over $1,000,000 and spent over $500,000 in the primary, those numbers are statistically impossible. However, if you are looking to suppress excitement among her very dedicated fanbase in the final hours of the election, posting “election results” like this would be one way to demoralize people into staying home and becoming hopeless.
Laura Loomer posted this on her Parler social media account after the incident
“Great work you guys! We caught the fake news frauds red handed. CBS12 was just forced to admit they lied about the FL Primary election results they posted on their site. They MANUALLY ENTERED FAKE ELECTION RESULTS ONLINE to suppress voters in FL. Thanks to all of you calling, CBS 12 had to issue the statement below, just moments ago: “If you have seen election results on this page at any time over the weekend, these were system tests and were not supposed to be accessible to people viewing our website. These were data tests to ensure our election ticker technology would be ready for Tuesday’s primary. The data seen by some over the weekend were mock numbers and in no way reflected any real election results. The election results page has since been zeroed out and will not be made live until polls close on Tuesday at 7 p.m. We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience this has caused.” Someone better be fired for this. What CBS12 has done is ILLEGAL!
VOTE AUG 18th”
