Didn’t the GOP computers run into a major snafu on election day tracking returns and the GOTV efforts? How much do you want to bet that the NSA was involved?
Yes.
That was the entire point of what the NSA was doing.
As you no doubt can see.
ORCA, Mitt Romneys high-tech get-out-the-vote program, crashed on Election Day
Online voter-turnout system failed Tuesday

Mitt Romneys online voter-turnout operation suffered a meltdown on Election Day, resulting in a crucial 90-minute “buckling” of the system in Boston and the inability of some campaign workers across the country to use a vital smartphone program, according to campaign officials and volunteers.
Code-named ORCA, the program was kept secret until just before the election in order to prevent hacking of the system. It was then trumpeted by Romneys aides as an unrivaled high-tech means of communicating with more than 30,000 field workers who were stationed at polling places on Election Day. Those volunteers were supposed to track who voted and to alert Boston headquarters if turnout was lower than expected at key precincts.
Will GOP Learn Its GOTV Lesson?

On Election Day over 37,000 volunteers spent the day struggling with a flawed and crashing GOTV (get out the vote) computer program, instead of actually getting out the vote. Those volunteers were supposed to be reporting on voter turnout in swing states, and in many instances spent the day troubleshooting with overwhelmed Romney campaign staffers in Boston over a computer program that had never been stress tested.
