Are you aware of conservative sites being shut down pretty much when something important comes up.
I got my credentials and was able to get into the ORCA sit on my IPad at 5 am last Tuesday. All was going fine until I had recorded ~163 voters, about 90-120 minutes into the voting day. Then I lost connectivity.
A campaign lawyer came by the precinct around then and told me that many volunteers had never been able to access the program. I do think it was hacked, because later in the day, when I managed to get back in, the feature for searching names would respond to a search showing no result for that name, when both the ORCA registered voter list I had printed, and the polling place list, both contained the voter’s name.
I had to record that my husband and I had voted, because we voted absentee. Until the campaign registered us as having voted, I received repeated texts from the GOP reminding us to vote. When I got home, there were multiple phone messages and door tags - indicating an in-person visit - also telling us to vote. So in our case, that aspect of the GOTV worked as planned.
The question is, do GOP voters need more than reminders? Do we need to be gathered and bussed in to vote?
And does any of that matter when the Dems are using the census data to register and bus to the polls voters who may or may not be legal citizens or residents of that precinct?
I think the ORCA story is a red herring :) to offer an explanation for why Romney lost that does not focus on fraud. I believe that the Dems panicked and overdid the fraud, as the numbers indicate. Because everyone I know who I expected to vote for Romney/Ryan went out and did so. I don’t know any of these supposed millions who sat it out.
