26. Well if you had read the Snopes link...

...you would know that the Twitter post itself occurred after AP called the race:

On 6 June 2016, the Associated Press reported that Hillary Clinton had "clinched" the Democratic nomination. Shortly thereafter, a Twitter user published a video about an e-mail sent by the Clinton campaign:

(...)

The video showed the e-mail on the screen; when the user clicked to save the embedded graphic, she claimed that it then showed the following filename: a.hrc.onl/imageman/2016_Q2-Email/20160605_hfa_graphic/secret-win-V2-060416c_02.png. The graphic was hosted on what appeared to be a Clinton campaign "intranet" inaccessible to the general public and probably used to host campaign-related content. According to the video, the graphic appears to have been created on 4 June 2016, two days before to the AP's pre-primary call:

(...)

It is true that the Twitter video's claims checked out. The campaign's e-mail was sent out after the 6 June 2016 call by Associated Press, and the embedded image was ambiguously titled "secret-win-V2-060416c_02.png" But "V2" implied at least two versions of the graphic existed, another of which might have shown an entirely different outcome to the 7 June 2016 primaries.


The Snopes caveat about there possibly being 2 versions does not make sense to me; furthermore, naming the file with "secret-win" embedded in the name is, shall we say, suggestive, and tends to argue against there being a different version with a different outcome.

Since the AP is the 'gold standard' of delegate counting, yes, they mocked up graphics. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #18
And the exact text of the tweet... n/t eggman67 Jun 2016 #24
All they had to do was create the graphic ahead of time, make a screengrab of the tweet justiceischeap Jun 2016 #30
