Romney’s Family Invests in Crooked Voting Machines to be Used in Ohio
Truthout.org is reporting that Mitt Romney’s family is invested in a company that might affect your political future. It turns out that the Romney family is part of a closely-held equity fund called Solamere. Through this company, they control a majority share of another company called HIG Capital. This company controls the board of Hart Intercivic, a compay that is known for making faulty voting machines, the ones that are going to be used in the elections in Ohio.
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.
We’re not sure if Truthout is being biased or dramatic with this information, but it does seem a bit odd that a man can run for president and also have a financial interest in the machines being used to count the votes. Also, the site gives a fairly compelling recollection of the 2004 presidential election, where it appears that serious irregularities in the voting process led George W. Bush capturing Ohio when no Republican had ever won the White House in that state.
They are especially crucial in Ohio, without which no Republican candidate has ever won the White House. In 2004, in the dead of election night, an electronic swing of more than 300,000 votes switched Ohio from the John Kerry column to George W. Bush, giving him a second term. A virtual statistical impossibility, the 6-plus% shift occurred between 12:20 and 2am election night as votes were being tallied by a GOP-controlled information technology firm on servers in a basement in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In defiance of a federal injunction, 56 of Ohio’s 88 counties destroyed all election records, making a recount impossible. Ohio’s governor and secretary of state in 2004 were both Republicans, as are the governors and secretaries of state in nine key swing states this year.
It is also reported that there are uncomfortably close relationships between the board members of HIG Capital and the Romney family. They don’t pretend to be objective in the next election and don’t seem to make it any secret that they are strong supporters of Mitt Romney’s presidential possibilities.
As we have previously reported, H.I.G. Capital has on its board of directors at least three close associates of the Romney family. H.I.G. Capital directors John P. Bolduk and Douglas Berman are major Romney fundraisers. So is former Bain and H.I.G. manager Brian Shortsleeve. H.I.G. employees have contributed at least $338,000 to Romney’s campaign. Fully a third of H.I.G.’s leadership previously worked at Romney’s old Bain firm.

ROMNEY has plans to lie and buy his way into the White House. More evidence has come out in Ohio that there was similar cheating in 2004 to get BUSH in the WH. And we recall what they did in the case of GORE vs. BUSH in Florida.
ROMNEY and his Right wing buddies don’t respect Firefighters, teachers…and most professional workers. He did not even want to save millions of AUTO JOBS at GM. But he was steadily investing millions of dollars in Chinese companies. HE IS A NUT. If my house catches fire… I want to see the firemen there and they should get paid. He is shipping good jobs out of the country…and then blaming Pres. Obama for high employment. He doesn’t like UNIONS because he wants to make more money by paying workers less. It’s even worse than it looks on the surface. Romney tells people he created jobs at STAPLES and a few other places. QUESTION: Are they better paying jobs than the ones he shipped out of here? NO. Most of the jobs that he shipped out…paid better maybe twice as much (on average)…than manufacturing jobs. HE IS A BIG TIME SLICK TALKING TRICKSTER…
ANSWER — NO… Romney has not created better-paying jobs in America. HERE IS THE SCAM: I know a man that is a computer tech. His company is shipping jobs overseas…and he has to train the person to take his place. My buddy was making $60,000/yr. BUT his replacement overseas will make less than $10/hr. — in the same job. Most of these JOBS that Romney brags about are not high paying, professional or managerial jobs. People who worked at manufacturing companies — made a lot more (over $15 per hour) than a sales clerk at Burger King or stock person for Burlington Coat Factory. But he shipped the good jobs to China where people are paid less than $1 per hour….and MITT GETS RICHER on the backs of working folks.
SO MANY COMPLAINTS about “voter suppression” have been mounting that groups went to the UN to ask for monitoring. Here is another story about how the UN has received so many complaints about this and other crooked acts to suppress the vote.

BAIN CAPITAL….Romney’s company had Rev. Jesse Jackson and others arrested today…

They plan to ship those jobs overseas…and the workers have been protesting. How is it that so many are cheering from this rat ROMNEY at rallies…while he gets rich …s******g over American workers…and blaming Pres. Obama for “high unemployment.”?????

This should be more than enough evidence, that our votes mean NOTHING! I said this before, and I’ll say it again, Romney will be bought and selected to become prez of this racist country.
They didn’t mention the name of the city, which is SinSinNasty [Cincinnatti], one of the most racist cities, in that racist country red neck state of Ohio. This is why they purchased the machines in “SinSinNasty” because it’s right next door to that racist state of Kentucky.
I keep telling y’all this is a game of poli(TRICKS), and Blacks are being TRICKED to think their votes count! I’m not trying to tell anybody how to vote, but if you think about it; what have we really gained, since our voting rights? NOT A D**MN THING! We’re still fighting for the same rights we were killed for over 500 years ago…LIBERTY, JUSTIC & FREEDOM!
If y’all would ORGANIZE and UNITE we could get ANYTHING we need, but negroids will continue to patronize, support and give your money to these foreigners, who have taken over our communities. Y’all cry broke, but how come these foreigners come STRAIGHT TO THE BLACK COMMUNITIES to make THEIR money? What color are the people patronizing them…BLACK FOLKS!!! Who do they hire…THEIR FOLKS!!! You seldom or NEVER see their own people buying from their stores, they have in the hood because they PATRONIZE their stores in their OWN HOODS!!!
How can we be broke with a trillion dollar consuming habit, while it’s only 45,000,000+ Black people in this country?
THERE’S MONEY IN THE GHETTO!!!
BOYCOTT, IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW OUR POWER!!!
By the way…”This company controls the board of Hart Intercivic, a compay that is known for making faulty voting machines, the ones that are going to be used in the elections in Ohio.”
NEED I SAY MORE?
No need to say more, you have said enough for now. Please sit your a*s down and STFU if you don’t wish to participate in the election.
You’re acting just like a nappy headed negroid female! I see why brothers are running to these crazy caucasoid cracker females!!! Wild heffas like you come and go like the weather.
THE ANGRY NEGROID FE-MALE DOG HAS SPOKEN!!!
I have a right to voice my opinions just like your juju lip azz!!!
NOW, GO SUCK A FAT BABY’S P*ETER!!!
I hope the Board of Elections is paying close attention.
It’s OUTRAGEOUS. If someone like Rev. Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson owned some of these voting machines…they would have the FBI at their doorsteps…now !!! I hope someone is making FORMAL COMPLAINTS to the Board…to the DOJ and Attorney General…and whatever officials that are in position to do an investigation.
What else is new, CROOKS always CHEAT when they don’t get their way, especially the RICH ones.
Talk about republican behavior such as the three ways they love stealing elections since 2000 by ,”Hanging Chads, Tabulation Manipulation, and Voter Fraud/Suppression”….If they don’t steal an election, they can’t win one…This is ASAP (A Sad A$$ Party)…!
THEIR LYING ABOUT HOW CLOSE THIS ELECTION IS AS WELL. THE POLES THAT ARE RUN BY REPUBLICANS WANT YOU TO BELIEVE IT’S A CLOSE RACE BECAUSE WHEN THEY GO TO STEAL IT WITH “TABULATION MANIPULATION” IT WILL “APPEAR” AS IF ROMNEY WINS BY A CLOSE MARGIN.!!! PEOPLE WAKE UP AND GET READY BECAUSE THESE RICH RACIST ARE GOING ALL IN FOR COMPLETE DOMINATION.
B.O.Y.C.O.T.T.!!!! THERE’S MONEY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY!!!
BOYCOTT, IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO SHOW OUR POWER!!! Derrick, you’re right on this one.
These are not the type of voting machines that are on line in Ohio, they were considered 4 years ago during the last presidential election and were rejected at that time.
I’m unclear where this story comes from, and who owns what, I am however sure about the type of voting machine used in Ohio, and the one mentioned in the article is not it.
I might suggest that the sources of any given story be included in the future!
