You Got to Be Kidding: Romney Family Owns Ohio Voting Machine Company

Per this Washington Post article expanding on the same story as the OP, Tagg owns a private equity firm called Solamere which is an investor to HIG Capital which is owned by former Bain Capital employees who are close to Mitt Romney who are bundlers to his campaign and also invested in Hart InterCivic, the Austin-based voting machine company that made the voting machines that are currently used in some counties in Ohio. Did you get all that? If not, read the article. There's also this article by Forbes.com covering the same story but in even greater detail than the Washington Post article.

I say voters AND Pres. Obama legitimately should be concerned about this.

Then why did Ed Schult blow it off on Tuesday nite. He was not concerned.
 
I'll say the same thing I said the last 15 times this came up:

If there is any "controversy" or "questionable behavior" it is on behalf of those responsible for monitoring and ensuring fair elections in Ohio.

Additionally, none of the Romneys are directly involved in the design of these machines and do not program or direct the programming of the software.

And finally, any results that appear to be well outside of expectations or "norms" will likely be investigated anyway.
 
Romney owns all of the voting machines, Obama is a Muslim from Kenya, etc, etc, blah blah blah.

Romney's son does own an interest in the company that does the voting compilations in Ohio. Obama isn't a Muslim from Kenya.

See the difference?

Why do you see a moral equivalency between truth and lies?
 
Neat story. Now when Obama loses, he can blame it on Taggart Romney.

That's the point: Romney's family should have the ability to commit fraud.

It would hilarious to hear your howling if Obama's cousin owned the company!
 
A 10% interest is a control group in most companies.

In any case, elections not only have to be fair, but have to appear fair. Now they don't.

ONLY TO hard core far left Obama toadies i suspect. I wonder if such sycophants are going to create an excuse to whine if Romney manages to win
 
If the GOP and Romney is involved, it stinks. Looks like "Tagg" Romney (what the hell kind of name is that), Romney's son and heir, is an owner of the company that provides the voting machines in Ohio. Just a coincidence?
In fact, after Romney's defeat in the 2008 nominationi, "Tagg" went to work investing in the company, and it isn't obscure why.

Romney's interest in the Ohio voting system should be thoroughly investigated and watchdogged. It's clear that the GOP can no longer win elections fairly due to changing demographics and its war on women, so now they want to buy the machinery of voting.

Get all the stinking conflict of interest here:

I hope that when you go into the booth to vote, that Mitt is on the other side messing with your selection.

Of course that would imply that Right Wingers are objective, yes?

Ha, Ha. Such delusions.
