OOPS!
The article contains a ridiculous spelling error in the title. Sorry for that even though I have no control over such matters. The correct term the author was seeking to use is chryon, an electronically generated caption superimposed on a television or cinema screen.

Apparently, Gary Johnson got 17% of the vote.

interesting....since he never did better than 3% in the Republican primaries the other 14% must have been Democrats....

well it clearly demonstrates CBS's bias... other than that... not a big deal. No way the 43/40 would ever happen as long as the media bars 3rd parties from debates etc...

So it was as they stated, a test of graphics that they stupidly put on air.

However, Matthew Boyle -- an investigative reporter for the Daily Caller website (http://dailycaller.com/) -- contacted Michele Wallace, an executive assistant at the Phoenix station, who said (http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/21/cbs-news-affiliate-calls-2012-presidential-race-for-barack-obama-weeks-ahead-of-election/):


On Friday, October 19th, during a test of KPHO-CBS 5's election returns software, we inadvertently aired a test graphic for about 15 seconds during an episode of "The People's Court." The mistake was caught quickly and taken off the screen.
With the election about two weeks away, the TV station routinely tests its equipment to ensure our viewers have the very latest results on election night. We regret the error and apologize to any view who was confused by the mistake.

Even if the "election predictions" are simple mistakes, they provide us with an interesting glimpse into how the people at these stations behave when they don't think anyone is watching or listening.

See, even when right wingers act all batshit crazy and paranoid it still proves they are right.
