(9,314 posts)But the advance publicity on the Romney family owned investments in voting machines pinpointed one with a connection to Romney's son. The one voting machine in Ohio with a Romney family connection was in Hamilton County. So to answer your question, there was a suspicion that if any tampering was done in Ohio, one of the first places would be in Hamilton County. So the theory goes, that is what Rove was thinking. Things went wrong when it became readily apparent Ohio was not going to make a difference, so the totals reported are assumed to be correct, no tampering was done because the election was lost and why take the risk if Ohio was not determinative.
One might have had to be on this train before it left the track. It's late, and if I did not explain this well, perhaps someone else could state it more clearly.
But I should pointblank say, no one made a direct accusation; however, the alerts went out and all eyes were on Ohio, and Franklin County was in the spotlight.
I personally sent that information to the Obama campaign team with a simple message, "Are you aware of this?"
