In reply to the discussion: Possible Path To E-Vote Theft [View all]brooklynite
(94,363 posts)34. ORCA didn't "spy" on anyone...
All ORCA was was a reporting system by which poll watchers, legally allowed to be in the voting area, report on who has shown up to vote, NOT who they vote for. The goal was to build a model of where presumed Romney voter were turning out in sufficient numbers, and where they were not, to guide GOTV operations. The voting machines were not networked, and ORCA (if it had worked) had no ability to intereact with them.
But then, I guess a good espionage story is more entertaining. ESpecially when cartoon masks are involved.
