(8,377 posts)ORCA was a system operated by the GOP to organize GOTV. That has nothing to do with vote counting. All the complaints about ORCA had to do with how useless it was on election day in helping the GOP get out the vote. I didn't hear any reports that ORCA was actually paralyzed, just that it didn't effectively do the job it was designed for.
If ORCA were hooked into the vote counting systems operated by the states, this implies a whole other level of corruption. And this is simply not how one would go about corrupting vote counts. The easier way to do that would be to install rogue software at the last minute, bypassing Ohio's testing requirements -- which is in fact with Husted did. That doesn't require taking over any servers or breaking into any networks.
