It's days like this that make me wish I were a 1337 h4x0r.
Whoever did this... you forever have my gratitude and you are an inspiration to us all.
I doubt they needed to be a 1337 H4x0r in this case.
People voting trump generally aren't particularly smart and many of them have probably isolated themselves so much, they probably didn't have much real help.
Furthermore, knowing these kind of people, they probably didn't pay the guy who made it, and they probably defaced it (which wouldn't be a surprise).
The fact its still offline seems to suggest the latter
