"At 10:01pm, Herschel Walker had 1,551,5344 votes," reads text over the image, with a numerical typo."At 10:03pm, Herschel Walker had 1,529,948 votes. Herschel Walker lost 20,000+ votes while his opponents gained." To add an extra suggestion of nefarious conjuring, the video features a snippet of the Cars’ 1984 hit"Magic" in the background, with the lyric,"Uh-oh, it’s magic.

Lauren Easton, a spokesperson for The Associated Press, told PolitiFact that"human error caused us to provide incorrect, overstated numbers for Herschel Walker for less than a minute on Tuesday night. As soon as we saw the mistake, we quickly returned to providing the numbers reported by the state.
