Utho! Detroit TV Station Mistakenly Airs Mock 2020 Election Results
The election is less than a week away but if you were watching the Bachelorette last night you might have been confused.
On Tuesday night’s airing of “The Bachelorette” in Detroit, the shocker wasn’t Clare’s big fight with Yosef or the teaser for next week’s appearance of Tayshia.
It was the fact that WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) mistakenly posted 2020 election results that showed President Donald Trump getting a rose from Michigan voters.

WXYZ-TV vice president and general manager Mike Murri apologized Wednesday morning for the accidental testing of systems that will be used next week for actual election night coverage.
Do you watch the Bachelorette?
