Was there any electronic vote switching? Did it happen?

Could it be that Karl Rove, Dick Morris, and perhaps Romney himself were expecting that enough votes would be stolen so that Romney and other Republicans would win? Was that why they were so confident in the face of math that just didn't work out for them?

Were they expecting some large-scale election fraud in their favor?

Did something happen to interrupt the acts of vote switching? Did the Democrats have a counter-hacker operation that thwarted the attempts to switch large numbers of votes to Romney?

I was expecting more vote-switching. I don't think I've heard of any rumors or reports, other than one or two people. Anyone else?

2. On CNN site last night (or was it NBC?), I saw a story at the top, a video, on that.

It was captioned something like "voting machine flips Democratic vote to Republican" or something. I think it was in PA. I clicked on it to watch the video, but it started with a commercial, which I didn't want to watch. Supposedly the video had a pic of the flipping.

election protection advocates. The judge ruled that the election on Ohio would continue as planned, but that he (she?) was open to an investigation after the election if warranted.

that Anon et. al. somehow got into their systems of electronically
buggering the vote, and blocked their attempts to flip votes for
Rmoney & Lyin'Ryan, and did so Anonymously.. and the rest is
history, as they say.

So then Rove JUST HAD to do his silly blustering on FOX, about how
"this can't be right???!!??" (sub-text: I thought we had this thing
totally stolen! WTF is going on here?!!?&quot .. sort of outing himself
in the process.

I just ran across this video from Anonymous warning Karl Rove and his Crossroads group not to "rig" the election. They claim they are watching his servers. I don't believe the election can be rigged as some do with voting machines. I do like the idea of an independent Anonymous keeping an eye on Rove.

Maybe that's why Rove et al were so surprised by the election results...
