Anonymous Claims They Hacked GOP On Election Day

Agreed. It’s felonies and treason.The damage done to our political system makes it an act of terror. When people lose confidence in our republic because the vote can’t be trusted, then we no longer have a republic. Anonymous is no idealistic group of misguided kids. This is hard core crime designed to strengthen the Dictatorship.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Wouldn’t that be a federal crime?

[machogirl]

Yes they do. Must be some Serious Threats of bodily harm that nothing has really leaked.

Boy, involve sex and the MSM is on it. (with exception of Man’s Country)

[MayflowerMadam]

“the nitwits running it were more than capable of tanking the system without any help from hackers”

Yeah, Microsoft, Google, et al., were administering ORCA for Romney. And then there’s the nitwit in Romney’s staff who invited Dracula to watch the blood bank. It’s sickening.

[Uncle Chip]

Gosh -- How did all us millions of people find our way to the polls on election day without ORCA???

If this was Romney's secret weapon that he was counting on to float to victory, then he deserved to lose.

[vpintheak]

Another criminal organization supporting the won. Who’d a thunk it?

[machogirl]

They don’t understand that after Conservatives, that the Marxists will be coming for them. Same with the libs that support the Islamic terrorists. When they accomplish their goal, they could care less whether the Code Pinkos helped them or not.

They didn’t have to hack the GOPe. They can lose all by themselves!

[TennesseeProfessor]

Anonymous might have broken into Orca. But Anonymous did not decide to replace GOTV with an untested system. Anonymous did not give volunteers incorrect login information. Anonymous did not choose to forego testing. Anonymous were not the ones who decided to skiip training volunteers and give just a few screen shots. Anonymous did not decide that volunteers would not be able to practice with the system in advance. Anonymous did not decide that it was a great idea for someone in Ohio to tell people in Boston who voted in Ohio just so someone in Boston could tell someone in Ohio to go call them. Anonymous was not the one who decided that volunteers should be told that the system was working for most people and they should just hold tight and try again later.

Riiiiiight. *eye roll*

[Does so]

"...Now Anonymous has released a video claiming responsibility for jamming ORCA..."

Glenn Beck has long-warned Americans of this group.

[ScubieNuc]

Exactly my thoughts!
It wouldn’t surprise me if this election was stolen via computer hacking and other means of fraud. I don’t expect either the GOP to investigate it or for it to be acted upon by the Justice Department. I suspect the final straw has been placed on the back of “lady liberty” and she is broken.

America as a city on a hill or a beacon of peace and justice is gone, but God is not dead and He is not fooled. One day, either here on Earth or at Judgement day, EVERY knee will bow at the name of Jesus, who is truth.

do linux systems have the amount of hack viruses that microsoft does? ( i know next to nothing)

[thecodont]

Linux/UNIX is supposed to have better security. I don’t know whether Romney’s IT staff decided to go with Linux/UNIX or with the more vulnerable Windows. (Mac computers on System 10.x run BSD UNIX.)

[machogirl]

Thanks. My ex (computer engineer) always said Microsoft was “crap”, Linux was better. (but what do i know?) I have no idea what the military uses.

Hacking the vote....although the voting machines are not Internet ready, the tallies are uploaded and transmitted via the World Wide Web. Counts uploaded to state sites that had Trojans awaiting would be able to adjust the numbers without displaying any viewable changes. If the state sites held no Trojans, then the ability to intercept the data during transmutation would work just as we’ll. Think about a trace route when checking your Internet speed and you should see where and at how many hops that data might pass through.

[Golfinsocal]

Just my opinion but I believe Orca had two objectives: 1) to monitor ill regularities in submitted results, a checks and balance... 2) to uncover any electronic tampering, cyber warfare that ushers in political direction. Even though Orca seems to have failed, it has fulfilled at least one directive. Anyone who feels Orca was coded by first graders, should ask why .

‘Though I doubt it, perhaps one of these days the GOP hierarchy will actually pay attention to the “O” rings.

Anonymous did not choose to forego testing

Anyone who's got any real world experience delivering software has absolutely no excuse for going light on testing. Your first "draft" of a complex program is just a proposal, of sorts. Until it has interacted fully with reality, not even the best coder has any right to expect it to work on the first attempt. Programmer hubris.

Or management indifference to the artificial nature of deadlines. In my undergraduate CompSci, we were told that for any given software project, if you knew any two of the following, you could not know the third: Cost, Functionality, Time to Completion. I've found it to be a reliable principle. You have to choose what you consider most important, and accept the consequences of that choice.
