Living in the age of constant drones about "fake news" and perceived network bias means swaths of people have questions.

No, MSNBC isn't trying to predict the future, and as far as we can tell, the simulation isn't glitching.
Rather, someone playing with graphics screwed up.
Hayes explained that the "system had inadvertently populated some test numbers" and the network does not have any vote totals ahead of the election.
“Quick clarification here,” Hayes said. “Just want to say, earlier this hour, uh, we showed a graphic of the Florida gubernatorial race. May have caught your eye because our system had inadvertently populated some test numbers. Obviously, we do not yet have any vote totals here, the night before the election. That was a misfire. Don’t worry. I was pretty confused when I saw it up there, to see it there myself.”

These things happen.

As of Tuesday morning, polling shows Gillum with a 4-point lead over DeSantis, 50-46 percent, which is within the margin of error for the final NBC News Marist poll.

@MSNBC Never rely on the POLLS. Most are misleading. Get out and VOTE!!!— Scott Imlay (@Scott Imlay) 1541496926.0
But polls can be wrong, and spoiler graphics aside, it is still imperative that everyone who can vote, does.
