I remember this happened a few years back to some other TV station/network. Then, that TV station/network was testing its website for election night under a specifically given scenario. And that's likely what's happening here.

They bought that information early and got it for a premium price. Liberal-socialist media thinks it runs this nation. After the election is certified we'll see who really runs this nation.
