It was fascinating in 2008 watching a FOX anchor arguing with their in-house analysts when they called Ohio for Obama. He was arguing that the votes would start shifting to McCain just like they did for Bush in 2004. Sure enough, the same glitch happened, but the vote ratio didn't change.
He started getting frantic after that, sure that the votes would start going for McCain any minute. It was super obvious he knew about what actually happened in 2004.
Interestingly, "Anonymous" claimed to have blocked the hack saving the election; which is both nonsense and probably technically true at the same time.
Drag googled "Anonymous Obama election" and couldn't find anything
