Are we really to believe this is plausible?

1: Romney's big data app failed on election day which led to ineffective use of their volunteers.

2: Romney's campaign performed exactly as predicted by the likes of Nate Silver.

Therefore: the failure of their big-data app was inconsequential. Otherwise we have to assume that the hundreds of polls were consistently biased in the direction of Obama and that the failure of the Orca big data app exactly compensates for this failure of the polls so that the outcome of the election is nonetheless exactly as predicted!

Absolutely 100% ridiculous.
