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.
