They were a group of hackers who claimed a few days after that election that they had hacked into a web site that Karl Rove and his minions were going to use on election night to tweak the vote count in a few critical states to swing the election to Mitt Romney. Their claim was that they had erected a password-protected firewall on that site, and on election night there were 105 unsuccessful attempts to get past the firewall. I don't know for sure if their claim was true, but it does explain some things. Karl Rove's election night meltdown on Fox, for example, when he found out that Ohio had been called for Obama. Ohio was one of the states Rove's minions were supposed to fix.
If the Anonymous claim was true, I thought, well, the cheaters will make damn sure that doesn't happen again.
What has happened since then? Well, 2016, and now, 2020.
I think you very well might be right, and this was a blue wave election and Biden won by a big margin and the Democrats just won the Senate. And those polls that the pundits are scratching their heads over were not really wrong, after all.
If it wasn't this, it was something. There was something that was happening behind the scenes last night that was not on the up-and-up. I'm not quite sure about this, but I strongly suspect it.
