Showing Original Post only (View all)DOJ/FBI - Please Investigate This --- Tagg Romney Invested in Ohio Electronic Voting Machines [View all]
Oct. 18, 2012 If the Romneys cant win legally, theyll take over Ohios electronic voting machines through investments.
The new owners of Ohios 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.
As Lee Fang points out in his detailed analysis of the Romney investments
Many of these private equityowned companies rely on federal and state contracts, from HIG Capitals Hart Intercivic, a voting machine company, to EnviroFoam Technologies, a biological and chemical decontamination firm that does business with the US military and is owned by Peterson Partners, a private equity firm listed in the Solamere prospectus.
Solarmeres 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.
The State of Ohio is Ground Zero for the White House, in particular Hamilton County a repeat of the George Bush election in 2004

The report was only released hours ago and Obama supporters already seem to be taking the news seriously. Change.org already has an online petition up and running that calls for "Attorney General Eric Holder: Investigate Tagg Romney owning voting machines in OHIO....".
Looks like things may get very interesting in the Buckeye state in the coming weeks.

The Vulnerability Assessment Team at Argonne Laboratory, which is a division of the Department of Energy, discovered this summer that Diebold touch-screen e-voting machines could be hijacked remotely, according to team leader Roger Johnston. Salon reported on it today, noting that as many as a quarter of American voters are expected to be using machines that are vulnerable to such attacks in the 2012 election.

The need for instant results is a disease. Get rid of ALL voting machines. Count paper ballots.

No wonder the Republican party has been so busy making white noise with voter fraud allegations.
