Associated Press US “test” election results 2008

The following Associated Press “test” election results, marked “NOT FOR PUBLICATION”, were, presumably accidentially, released on the International Herald Tribune website at http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/09/30/america/Elected-All.php . The IHT is owned by the New York Times Company and is in practice the “international” version of the New York Times.

The list likely represents a test of AP’s election coverage system, with its predicted headlines having been written well in advance. The document was obtained by Wikileaks staff after a tip off from a reader.
