Why? Why would Anonymous release evidence against Rove?

200. I think electronic voting is a danger & 3rd way is bullshit. But so's this theory.

It's an incredibly resonant bit of storytelling, because it incorporates all kinds of delicious ideas. We all think Rove is dirty. We all saw him act like his remote wasn't working on election night. Anonymous has been heroic a couple of times. So it's a triple-confirmation bias, at least. Quadruple if you throw in that it's Ohio, the center of previous talk about vote fixing.

But the logic presented in the OP and the thread in general is 911 - truther flavored. It's resistant to logic and insists that it be it disproven rather than the other way 'round. THAT is bullshit.

If someone -- anyone -- including Anonymous -- could prove this, they would. It would get out, it would be a huge story, and Rove and whoever else was involved would be destroyed.

Something could still come out that supports an idea like this, but it's extremely silly to suggest that someone who had the facts would not bring them forward. "Anonymous" could do it anonymously, for Pete's sake.

There's nothing third way or protective of questionable voting practices in general about observing that everything about the ORCA story smells like fanciful thinking.
