Colorado paper which endorsed Bush posts election results early
With all precincts reporting, Bush wins Colorado, 41-34 percent, paper reports – except election hasn’t started yet!

Paper that endorsed Bush calls election for Bush a day early


By John Byrne | RAW STORY Editor

http://www.bluelemur.com/index.php?p=383

President Bush has scored a resounding victory in Colorado, winning the popular vote 41 to 34 percent over Massachusetts senator John Kerry – at least according to the Rocky Mountain News, which posted the ‘final’ election results sometime Monday afternoon, RAW STORY discovered.


The News called the election for Bush. But several minutes later, with fewer precincts reporting, Kerry was up 41-40 percent. The image is reproduced below. The paper previously had endorsed Bush for reelection.


Trouble is, election day is Tuesday. The latest poll, by Zogby, has Bush edging Kerry 48-47 percent.


RAW STORY believes that the paper is testing their online reporting system, though most papers do so internally, without calling the race in public view before the election actually occurs.
