Tagg Romney Invested in Ohio Electronic Voting Machines



Tagg Romney Invested in Ohio Electronic Voting Machines

If the Romney’s can’t win legally, they’ll take over Ohio’s electronic voting machines through investments.

The new owners of Ohio’s voting machines are owned by no other than Tagg Romney the son of one of the Candidates. By virtue of conflict of interest alone, this should be investigated by the DOJ preferably involving the addition of the FBI, Homeland Security and the CIA to ensure this connection will not endanger the vote in Ohio and other states.

Tagg Romney the heir to the Romney fortunes (through Vulture Capitalism) is a chip off the old block and his dad scored big destroying American jobs through leveraging profitable companies.

In 2008 after Romney lost the 2008 bid for President it was all clear for Mitt Romney’s son Tagg Romney to invest in a company called Solamere Capital which is a direct subsidiary of Allen Stanford’s Bank and investment companies.

EV is notoriously unreliable and can easily be hacked.

For the last few years the companies controlling our voting machines have been questionable and many have foreign ties. Or they are American companies posing as foreign companies to avoid axes.

The problem is that in this day of cross corporate ownership the same corporation can be invested in voting machines and the media supposedly covering their actions. A conflict of interest that is sometimes hard to track and completely unregulated.

The coup started by Reagan is coming full circle.

First of all, I'm not going to speculate on whether anything is afoot, but it appears as though there's a very clear conflict of interest.

I don't think Team Obama are going to sit passively by if they suspect that there are plans to distort the Democratic process. They won't shout about it though. Dirty tricks in this area cut to the core of the democratic process, and I don't think they'd consider it in their best interests to suggest that the USA could be in the same boat as Zimbabwe.

I agree, if something was going to be wrong, the Obama Team would be getting them fixed. There is either nothing wrong with the machines or they are getting it fixed behind the scenes.

10. QUESTION today's Gallup Poll (10/18/12) election forecast

I QUESTION today's Gallup Poll (10/18/12) election forecast. I had concerns about the impartiality of Gallup several months back when I was part of a private meeting with the CEO of this leading polling organization when he came to speak in Denver. It comes as no surprise to me that Gallup is out front in forecasting Mitt Romney is leading the 2012 race. A wider check of opinion gives a very different result:

Those giving it to Romney:
Gallup: 52% Romney, Obama 45% (margin of error 4%)
Rasmussen Reports: 49% Romney, Obama 47%

Real Clear Politics: Electoral Votes 201 Obama, 206 Romney (131 Tossup)

Those giving it to Obama:
Washington Post: Electoral Votes 235 Obama, 206 Romney (77 Tossup)
New York Times: Electoral Votes 237 Obama, 191 Romney (110 Tossup)
Huffington Post: Electoral Votes 267 Obama, 206 Romney (65 Tossup)
Reuters: Electoral Votes - 269 Obama, 191 Romney (131 Tossup)
Five Thirty Eight Forecast: Electoral Votes 287 Obama, 251 Romney

Reuters is no light weight business news organization!

15. Most Popular President

Gallup "pollees" listed Ronald Reagan as the most popular president in "history" - ahead of Abraham Lincoln.

That says something about Gallup's political slant.

11. Voting machines should not be owned by individuals

They should be owned by the state itself and be in independent elections agency hands. That's the way it works in other Western countries.

This is what happens when you allow private ownership and capitalism to take over the political system.
