14. Yes. I recall Rove was on tv and refused to agree Obama won Ohio. He looked very nervous.

Even Romney was shocked when it was over and his supporters waited and waited for him to concede—with no speech in hand.
From what I recall, a plot (that perhaps Rove set up) to shift votes to Romney in Ohio was detected by an outsider (I think it was Anonymous) and was foiled.

Of course, the Democratic party learned nothing from this the first time because we won, so in this election Rove made sure everything was in working order, and it all went off without a hitch.

And the Democratic party is doing nothing.
