Why is Nobody Freaking Out Over Mitt Romney OWNING the Voting Machines Used in Ohio?!

Posted by Kevin Farrell on Oct 22, 2012 in Politics | 13 comments

Through a closely held equity fund called Solamere, Mitt Romney and his wife, son and brother are major investors in an investment firm called H.I.G. Capital. H.I.G. in turn holds a majority share and three out of five board members in Hart Intercivic, a company that owns the notoriously faulty electronic voting machines that will count the ballots in swing state Ohio November 7. Hart machines will also be used elsewhere in the United States.

In other words, a candidate for the presidency of the United States, and his brother, wife and son, have a straight-line financial interest in the voting machines that could decide this fall’s election. These machines cannot be monitored by the public. But they will help decide who “owns” the White House.

Look team, I’ve typey-typed thousands of stories for your viewing pleasure/general awareness/nausea-inducement over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like this before.

The Republican candidate for president actually owns the highly faulty electronic voting machines that are being deployed across Ohio, the contentious state that by most forecasts will determine who wins the entire election.

Does anybody else have a problem with this? Why is this not the ONLY story being played on the news right now?

Go read the entire scandalous thing.

So you’re saying that Romney is rigging the election so he can win? Please provide one piece of evidence that he will use these voting machines to ensure he wins. Coming from a site called “unicornbooty”, i doubt many people will believe you.

“Coming from a site called “unicornbooty”", what did you expect? Obviously you are not the demographic for the site. So what are you doing here besides trolling?

The article doesn’t say that he is rigging anytnimrod nimrod. It rightfully suggests a conflict of interest.

Why do you think the Romney’s bought the voting machines? Do you think they want them for decoration?!

I guess you must have missed the citation posted at the end of the story providing more information about UB’s allegations.

funniest thing about this comment is that if it were out that Obama owned voting machines, I am almost 100% sure Mr. Kamboj would have his panties all up in a wad complaining about it.

That’s super scary. Off the top of my head i think i can safely say that if Romney wins (God forbid) Obama can demand an investigation that won’t be belittled like that thing in florida that time with Al gore. Also, Romney’s an idiot if he’s giving that kind of firepower to his opposition, does he not have a whole team of people who are supposed to find things like that? I’ll be very happy when he’s not elected by a huge margine.

Actually I’m freaking out about the Romney’s owning voting machines, so much so that I posted the story I found on all anti republican sites and anti romney sites on facebook, and now facebook has me on probation because of it. I also e-mailed the surpreme court, msnbc, cbs, too.

I’ve been sending out this news item all over the place, and the media is doing its best to ignore the story. I don’t know why. It’s crazy!

I’m furious about the knowledge. And yes, it is true. I’ve seen postings from other credible resources lately that have been pointing out this very fact. I think that Romney should be disqualified from the presidential race due to conflict of interest.

Well this is being covered by other sites and there’s a petition on change . org if anyone would like to sign it asking to investigate the Romney’s interest in these machines.

news outlets are poo-pooing this whole idea because it could throw a wrench into their big-ass plans for election night. they won’t be able to call a winner that night if paper ballots are used! so they’re spinning it as a conspiracy theory, if addressing it at all.

what I’m wondering is why nobody is freaking out about how much he changes his position.
I swear he makes up his campaign speeches on the spot.
