In reply to the discussion: Hmmm… Why Was Karl Rove So Adamant that Romney Not Concede Ohio? [View all]femrap
(13,418 posts)48. I read the same
blog the day after the election. But I find it odd that there weren't more blogs, personal accounts, people speaking to reporters about this fiasco of ORCA. Now maybe I missed them....but this is the only personal account I read.
Maybe ORCA was for Fixing the Election.
It should be investigated...only to put KKKarl in jail. He has to be forced to wear orange....and then I can die in peace.
And my theory is that Anonymous hacked it....and I'm sticking to it.

Husted bailed on Rove. He wasn't taking Federal rap for Rove in a losing effort.

Yes. He did not want to be anywhere near his office if Rove decided to move without him.
