Does Mitt Romney's Son Tagg Have An Investment In Some Ohio Voting Machines?...
Source: The Cleveland Leader
 ...Mitt Romney's 42-year-old son, who has already faced criticism for his dealings with Allen Stanford who was convicted of milking investors out of $8 Billion in a Ponzi scheme, may have much bigger questions to answer after shocking allegations brought forth by PolitcolNews.com.
The website claims that Romney owns an interest in Hart Intercivic voting machines which will be used to calculate votes in Hamilton County. If true, this raises serious questions as there were a number of red flags during the 2004 campaign that saw George Bush defeat John Kerry... PoliticolNews.com writes: ...Solarmere’s tangled web of investments now includes Hart Intercivic voting machines which will be used in Cincinnati Ohio says Truth Out which could guarantee Mitt Romney the White House...

22. As long as there is permanent evidence of every individual vote that is verifiable.
|
For instance. I would be fine with electronic voting, even from home. Provide each person with an individualized random ID number and then post all ID numbers and votes online. Keep no record of who is what ID number. Base it on a simple computer code based on the time of day. Only the voter knows their ID. Then they can search online and see, yes my vote counted. And others can fact check the total votes. Simple and easy.
I'm not particularly familiar with Oregon's system, but as long as voting is verifiable at any and every point after the vote has been cast, I am fine with it. |

27. There Was a DEMOCRATIC State Government in Ohio in 2008!

Big difference in 2008. Democratic Governor. Democratic Secretary of State.
In 2004 the Republicans got to count the votes in Ohio: 
and they will be doing it again this year. |

WAS hoping something would come of the Connell death, but that's a perfect example of rover protecting himself.

16. Why the hell has the Democratic Party not done anything about this over the last four years?
|
I can only conclude that winning isn't all that serious a goal for them.
 They seem pretty damned stupid for only choosing now to deal with this, since the rest of us have known since 2004 about the marketing of e-voting machines across the country. |

This is just so wrong if true.
Btw, I live in the state of Georgia, where we haven't had a legal election since 2000, if then. Why? Because in 2002 the entire state of Georgia started using the paperless Diebold Accuvote TS machines that make a hand recount impossible, which is a violation of Georgia state laws. Our SoS must be able to prove our e-votes are cast fairly and accurately, which they currently can not do.   |
