I would suggest that in the 2016 election there were data dumps attempted or carried out at this time also, but that was never audited publicly. The same trick was used again and was therefore predictable. As noted by others this could be coded into the fraud module.
Also 3.42am must be just about the quietest time in any 24hours period. I have heard of people getting up at 4am for an early start, and going to bed at 2am as a late finish, but 3.42 strikes me as the lowest ebb point in any given local timezone.
In the Western Christian tradition, the hour between 3 and 4 a.m. was considered a period of peak supernatural activity - the witching hour.
Switching hour is great. Looking up the history of this hour is interesting. It seems back in the middle ages it was very common for people to take two sleeps. They would go to bed at dark or close to it, and awaken for an hour or two likely around this time. It was a time for quiet at home activities for some and for clandestine activities for others. I read about it before when I was walking up every night for a long string of them at the same time.
