Over at Fox News, the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary briefly appeared to have already been called — even though the polls don't close for another six hours. Thanks to what Fox's Chief Digital Officer Jeff Misenti says was a "malfunction" that occurred during "routine testing," the site's election results page briefly showed Donald Trump as the decisive winner of the New Hampshire primary early Tuesday morning, with 28 percent of the vote and 14 delegates.
The errant results showed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in second, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in third, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich in fourth. Longshot candidate Jim Gilmore got 574 votes in the incorrect Fox data, registering at 0 percent.
The error has since been corrected on Fox News' website. The actual results should be announced sometime Tuesday evening after the last polls in New Hampshire close at 8 p.m. ET.
