Read the whole depressing, frustrating piece. If anyone here took part in this it would be interesting to hear their experiences. I didn't see a way to link to just that post, so the link goes to the whole blog. A big fat language warning on that place, btw - esp if you read the comments (but they can be pretty funny).

I just felt this piece needed to be here on FR as part of the postmortem. Two disasters in two weeks, I'm exhausted!

Who ever heard of THIS?

Was it supposed to be triple secret like Son of Acorn?

and so the ripping of pubs continue, the self mutilation, the incrimination's, etc.....

you can't beat a rigged election...you can't....we had the turnout...we had the money ....we had the candidate...we had the enthusiasm...

it was rigged...in swing states....

I received *.pdf files in a timely manner, including my poll watcher credentials. I had no problems with the local poll workers.

What is Project Orca?

Project ORCA, was that whale of a governor in New Jersey undermining the GOP.

IMHO, there was nothing we could do to make Romney win. TPTB decided Zero was the guy that was needed to take America down, and by golly Zero it was gonna be. The cheating is defiant and “in yo face,” as they know that they can and *will* get away with it. It makes me think it’s been like this all along, just not to this degree, but possibly our votes have *never* actually counted.

It’s been quite a depressing wake up call for me, to realize that we are all only pawns in their chess game, and that my “golden years” are going to be anything but golden because these sick mofos decided to bring America to its knees.

May they all rot in hell, along with their children and their children’s children.

Romney’s campaign tried to be tech savvy, but they still failed.

Remember his “Mitt’s VP” app, which promised to inform users first of his running mate? Except twitter knew around midnight, and the app didn’t send a notice until 7:00 in the morning EST.

The massive technology assisted GOTV Plan was to send every registered Republican 500 robo-calls. While I’m eating dinner.

Reposted from another thread:

“Let the other party program the voting machines and run them”

Yes there was democrat voter fraud. Also This freeper txrefugee had a post that I think we all should read and spread around:

“On CNN today, they revealed that Axelrod & Co. had the 2010 Census sheets from the heavy-minority counties in the swing states. They supposedly knew every house where their voters lived and followed up with absentee ballots etc.(No one has moved in the last two years? Hard to believe.)

Now, if this isn’t a recipe for stealing an election, I don’t know what is. They could request the ballots, have someone collect them at drop boxes, fill them out and submit them. No wonder the turnout of Blacks, Mexicans, and students actually went up over ‘08, though the enthusiasm was obviously missing. That doesn’t make sense unless someone was doing something shady.

Consider also that Axelrod insisted that the White House be able to control the 2010 census as reported in February 2009.

I was a participant, and it did not work well for me.

I had no problem with the poll workers, whom by the end of the evening had almost embraced me as one of their own—that was the nice part.

The difficulty was in the app, which for some reason would not allow me to login from either the smartphone or the tablet that I brought. I had to mark off the names by hand on the list, then drive home every two hours or so (fortunately my house was mere blocks from the polling place) and enter them in my desktop computer, where I had no problem logging in.

I read somewhere here about the Dems using organized data mining to line up new voters. They knew there was going to be a drop off in kool-aid drinkers from ‘08 so they got new ones. Where I voted, there were three young Black men who claimed they lived in apartments down the street but showed up at the wrong polling place. They were sent down the street to another polling place, but obviously new voters. Not to sound racist but lets just say they didn’t look like they live in the neighborhood. And there was a nervous young lady who appeared to be voting for the first time—had that perturbed “war on women” way about her like voting was her cause and she wasn’t going to be intimidated by the process.

I participated in this project. My experience, fortunately, wasn’t as poor as Ace’s. While the system and the organization required to ensure that it is well-oiled and extremely functional were not in place, it is in its infancy. Yes, we are way behind the rats in terms of GOTV. This system, as envisioned, will catch us up immediately.

WOW!

It seems not only was the campaign messaging not energizing the base but as well the GOTV effort was centrally planned and ventrally coordinated by amateurs...

Naturally, for reasons I can't begin to comprehend, my printer would not print in black and white with an empty magenta cartridge (No HP, I will never buy another one of your products ever again)
