Did ANON UN-hack the vote? [View all] 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 OP
They said they would if there were any shenanigans Kookaburra Nov 2012 #1
No, they said they'd turn over any evidence of a hack to the authorities. gkhouston Nov 2012 #48
I stand corrected Kookaburra Nov 2012 #52
hmmmmm...... northoftheborder Nov 2012 #2
wouldn't surprise me at all. Phx_Dem Nov 2012 #3
Either that, or they pre-programmed the "cheat" percentage and it wasn't enough. n/t gkhouston Nov 2012 #4
I truly doubt that the script kiddies MineralMan Nov 2012 #5
I doubt it too. LisaL Nov 2012 #6
So you really think that Anon was just blowing smoke here? 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #7
Yes. Absolutely. MineralMan Nov 2012 #9
This. +1000. Thumbs up. Like. chalky Nov 2012 #11
Your patronizing dismissive demeanor is noted. 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #15
That's good. MineralMan Nov 2012 #43
This helped me understand Anon's reference to monitoring the servers: gateley Nov 2012 #73
HAHAHA! bushisanidiot Nov 2012 #50
They say they'll be monitoring the servers and reporting any abnormalities to the authorities. -- gateley Nov 2012 #72
Yes, I'd seen this, and it is quite informative 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #74
Yep. I think they were bluffing. LisaL Nov 2012 #10
Anon to Rove: "We'll be monitoring your servers..." 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #16
Yeah, that was bullshit. bemildred Nov 2012 #18

In Las Vegas, the mob calls it "bagging em' up" crunch60 Nov 2012 #66
Wouldn't be a bit surprised. nt. OldDem2012 Nov 2012 #8
Nope -- Rove's dirty tricks just didn't pan out struggle4progress Nov 2012 #13
So what is your theory, as to why it "didn't pan out" for Rove. 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #17
Wouldn't at all be surprised if they played at least a small role in TPTB's failure last right. AverageJoe90 Nov 2012 #14
Well when I see Rove in handcuffs then I'll say hmmmmm bkkyosemite Nov 2012 #19
It will be interesting to see if anything surfaces during next few weeks 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #20
I really believe that's why Rove had his meltdown on Fox regarding crunch60 Nov 2012 #65
Hacking voting machines is not the same thing as DDOSing web sites toddaa Nov 2012 #21
There may be more to Anonymous than its public face starroute Nov 2012 #22
Actually, that wouldn't surprise me. n/t gkhouston Nov 2012 #47
I LOVE conspiracy theories- keep 'em comin' demhottie Nov 2012 #23
Um.....no jeff47 Nov 2012 #24
I figure if Howard Dean can do it 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #38
And if you pay attention to the demo, you'd note it requires physical access to the tabulator. jeff47 Nov 2012 #41
And if you pay attention to the Occupy/Anon Phenomenon, you'd note that "they" are everywhere nt 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #57

To those of you who doubt the vote can be (and has been) hacked... ailsagirl Nov 2012 #25
Thank you. 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #58
A friend thinks I'm crazy because I believe we Dems have been sabotaged on a number of occasions ailsagirl Nov 2012 #59

That would be the ultimate poetic justice the Hackers hack the hack UCmeNdc Nov 2012 #26
If Howard Dean can hack the vote, then anyone can. 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #37
No. nsd Nov 2012 #28
No. JoeyT Nov 2012 #29
that's must be true, rove acted like he knew something no one else did Tribetime Nov 2012 #30
Exactly! and that "something" that he knew, he could NOT bring himself to SAY on live TV nt 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #33
I still think they should investigate exits polls 5-6% off in ohio Tribetime Nov 2012 #46
I TOTALLY agree. ReThugs keep finding new ways to steal votes. 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #54

Only an idiot would assume Anon is comprised solely of script kiddies. Norrin Radd Nov 2012 #51
Thank you - a voice of reason .. ahhh. nt 99th_Monkey Nov 2012 #55
So, which side of the spectrum has a monopoly on tin foil now? Coyotl Nov 2012 #60

Something I don't get about Rove on Faux that night. CANDO Nov 2012 #61
