Bab 393: Chapter 393 Outcome

  At midnight.

  Normally, ABC would sign off for the night, but not today. Hardy had ordered them to broadcast 24 hours nonstop.

  This was the first time in television history that a station had a 24-hour continuous broadcast. Once again, Hardy had made history.

  On the TV, three anchors were seated, continuously discussing the election while reporting results as soon as any state's tally came in.

  Millions of Americans who were following the presidential election were gathered in front of their TVs, watching as the results slowly trickled in.

  At 1 a.m.

  News arrived from Georgia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The results showed that Johnson had won all five states by a significant margin.

  Meanwhile, Dewey had won three northern states.

  At 3 a.m.

  More news arrived from three key populous states: California, Ohio, and Michigan. Johnson held a slight lead in all three.
