Illinois TV station WCIA overrode the broadcast of “The Price Is Right” on Monday to deliver Tuesday’s primary election “results.”
Video from a viewer shows an anchor reviewing data that shows Joe Biden winning the state over Bernie Sanders, 50 percent to 45 percent.

The graphic shows a strong showing by a challenger to President Trump.
Trump received 74 percent while Roque De La Fuente received 26 percent.
While the error was likely a test, it still raising concerns of manipulation of results.
Despite concerns over coronavirus and crackdowns on large groups, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker says the primary election will still be held.
“We have to have our elections continue, in my opinion,” Pritzker says, according to WCIA. “This is the right thing to do. Our democracy needs to go on. We need to elect leaders. If we canceled these elections, when would you have an election?”
The governor added “many” people have already voted early.
