There are more 1st-person details at the Breitbart account: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/11/08/Orca-How-the-Romney-Campaign-Suppressed-Its-Own-Vote http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/11/08/Orca-How-... I find this volunteer account notable: I do not know if the system was totally broken, or if I just saw the worst of it. But I wonder, because they told us all day that most volunteers were submitting just fine, yet admitted at the end that all of Colorado had the wrong PIN's. They also said the system projected every swing state as pink or red. Putting aside Hanlon's Razor ("never ascribe to malics what can be explained by incompetence") for a moment: what if some of these failures were due to partisan/hacker tampering? If you owned the server(s), you could scramble a state's PINs. You could break redirects. You could bias the projections for overconfidence, or mark records as 'voted' or 'followed-up' that hadn't been. With a little phone-hacking, you could make sure attempts to call-in with problems get no answers. A single skilled amoral hacker could more easily suppress thousands of actual votes this way, compared to voting-machine/voting-tabulation tampering. And the details could disappear more easily into the secrecy and cover-your-ass bullshitting that is common in a partisan, temporary campaign organization.
