Turns out that 37,000 volunteers were planning to use laptop computers to access the Boston database and then track and contact each potential voter in their area. They would match the Dem's "Narwal" effort.
But ORCA didn't work! On election day, each laptop suddenly rejected the login password that had worked in testing. Suddenly the volunteers were blinded, they were unable to contact anyone! Their ORCA system had been hacked!
Republicans with integrity tend to think that everyone has integrity. They refused to underestimate their opponents. But it is impossible to underestimate this crowd of Chicago thugs where winning is everything, regardless of the method.
I hope they choke on it.

volunteer in Colorado, and reissued new PINs (which also didn't work).
Meanwhile, counties where we had hundreds of volunteers, such as Denver
Colorado, showed zero volunteers in the system all day, but we weren't
allowed to add them. In one area, the head of the Republican Party plus
10 volunteers were all locked out. The system went down for a half hour
during peak voting, but for hundreds or more, it never worked all day.
Many of the poll watchers I spoke with were very discouraged. Many
members of our phone bank got up and left.
I do not know if the system was totally broken, or if I just saw the
worst of it. But I wonder, because they told us all day that most
volunteers were submitting just fine, yet admitted at the end that all
of Colorado had the wrong PIN's. They also said the system projected
every swing state as pink or red."

Indeed:
"The truth is much worse. There was, in fact, massive suppression of the
Republican vote--by the Romney campaign, through the diversion of nearly
40,000 volunteers to a failing computer program.
There was no Plan B; there was only confusion, and silence."
