About an hour ago every single one of my questions, and several of my answers, was downvoted within a few minutes. I'm assuming its one person, Would moderators be able to provide some insight into this?

1SE has an algorithm in place that looks for suspicious voting patterns, and this seems like it'd be one of those. The votes should be invalidated soon(ish). Sooner than 6-8 weeks anyway.– El'endia Starman ModCommented Feb 12, 2014 at 18:44

1Happened to me recently. It was reversed and it was far less abrasive than this one you've experienced. It will probably be reversed before you even read this. @El lol.– user3961Commented Feb 12, 2014 at 19:24

I'm curious to hear how this ends... were the votes undone?– Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SECommented Feb 13, 2014 at 9:04

An entry showed up in my reputation log today "Serial voting was reversed". The original downvotes are still there, but now cancelled out. Thanks to the SE team for putting this system in place.– DJClayworthCommented Feb 13, 2014 at 14:30

1Minor correction: the only thing "still there" should be the -2 entries in your rep log that are now cancelled out, the votes themselves should no longer show up on the respective questions.– Caleb ModCommented Feb 13, 2014 at 14:43

Sorry Caleb, that's exactly what I meant.– DJClayworthCommented Feb 13, 2014 at 14:46

Did you ever figure out who was the serial downvoter?– Jim G.Commented Feb 27, 2014 at 4:06

I think only the SE team get to know that, and I don't particularly want to.– DJClayworthCommented Feb 27, 2014 at 4:14

Never fear, such behavioral voting patterns are almost always caught and reversed by an automated set of checks that run through the previous day's vote log. If they don't get restored in 24 hours or so, then we can have the SE team review (normal mods cannot see individual votes or reverse them).
