All analysts agree that a candidate can’t win the Presidential Election without winning the state of Ohio. It appears that Romney is willing to win the state by any means necessary. According to PoliticolNews.com, Mitt Romney’s son, Tagg Romney, has invested in the electronic voting machines being used in Ohio. The new voting machines are under the brand name HART Intercivic and Tagg Romney is one of the owners of the company.
In the excerpt below, the website is calling for a Federal investigation of the conflict:
In recent weeks Tagg has taken a more “active role in his father’s campaign management” but when you look further, he also has a major problem with that role. By virtue of conflict of interest alone, this role 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. After all isn’t the security of an election both state and federal authorities responsibility to ensure the election is not stolen, tampered, or results altered?
In more detail, the link between Tagg Romney and the voting machines in Ohio are given:
Bain Capital, Solamere Capital both of which are major investments for both Mitt and Tagg Romney are connected to many private equity investments. As Lee Fang points out in his detailed analysis of the Romney investments “Many of these private equity–owned companies rely on federal and state contracts, from HIG Capital’s 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.” 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.
In response to the revealing of the connection between Mitt Romney and the voting machines in Ohio, a petition has been formed on SignOn.org to call for a Federal investigation of the conflict. The email (below) includes the link to sign a petition asking Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama to initiate an investigation into the conflict:
Dear SignOn.org member,
According to an article on PoliticolNews.com, Mitt Romney’s son, Tagg, is a major investor in Hart InterCivic, the company that owns electronic voting machines that will be used in Ohio for this election.1 The article also alleges that these machines are easily hacked. Not to mention it’s an obvious conflict of interest.
That’s why I created a petition on SignOn.org to U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder and President Obama to get the Department of Justice to initiate an investigation into this issue before Election Day on November 6, 2012.
The petition says:
Ensure that the election is not stolen and that the results are not tampered with or altered: Investigate voting machines owned by Tagg Romney.
Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.
Thanks!

Oh brother. It’s one thing to be against Romney because you don’t like or trust any Republican. So be it. But to use Jim Crow era scare tactics to make sure our people vote only Democratic is shameful and silly. First, anyone with half a brain would clearly see that President Obama would never launch a DOJ investigation as it would trivialize his campaign and be a clear conflict of interest since he, too, is running for another term. Second, unless someone can show proof that Tagg Romney’s Solamere Capital has entered a joint venture with HIG Capital, a private equity firm that manages a whole range of investments, and then announced a planned hostile takeover or friendly acquisition of voting machine company Hart Intercivic (and all business news outlets would report this), then Tagg Romney’s company is at most just a passive investor in the company. What this means is if you were to buy, say, 100 shares of Walmart or Target, you would have only a passive, non-controlling interest in that company, not a controlling interest (translation: you ain’t calling the shots). A controlling interest takes at least 51% and usually involves some kind of board approval. This article does not show any controlling interest or an announced hostile takeover. Our people need to upgrade the political savvy meter so that we vote smartly, not out of blind fear that the evil ones can manipulate against us.

Who cares. The elections have been rigged since voting machines have been used, in my opinion.

This smells of libel liberals doing anything to prevent the inevitable Thrashing the liberals will receive on November 6th. They are setting up a big reaction by the left calling the other guys liars racist etc. When all the while this is their method. God is watching over all of this I am sure. I say Let Almighty God judge who is wicked. I Pray He punishes the wicked forever and ever.

I remember in scripture God stating that you select leaders without consulting Him. God is not in our electoral process. But He is able to see that whoever he wants in office will be there whether the nation is blessed or whether the nation is cursed.

IT HAPPENED IN OHIO TOO DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2004. TABULATION MANIPULATION APPEARED TO HAVE MADE THE DIFFERENCE…

Do not believe the current government is stupid enough to allow such non-sense…or any government…
We seen what happen in Florida, but that was due to the electorial votes, and the laws were changed since holding the electorial voters accountable for their actions…
Nevertheless; Can’t Truss It…

Yeah,Derrick “Steal” is the optimum word!……Tabulation Manipulation, say it 3 times, but don’t let it become a tongue twister. If it is conducted in enough States, it could and would make a difference in the outcome of this Election!……..

Everyone needs to dial it down a notch. This article makes it all seem so crystal clear, but a little digging will show that things really aren’t crystal clear. I initially took this at face value and shot off an email to the President’s campaign, only to investigate later and find that the information in this article is misleading to say the least.
Bottom line, don’t believe EVERYTHING you read on line just because it comes from someone who shares your views most of the time. There is no telling where they received their information that you are rushing to trust.

These rich b**asturds are going to ‘buy’ the election!!! What is his sons doing besides attacking the prez? Do they have jobs? I doubt it; therefore, they are going around making sure this election is RIGGED where they have placed these ‘dirty’ machines!
They have capital and investments in this company called H.I.G. and these machines are faulty! These yankees always spewing dirt on Black folks, but they are the most untrustworthy animals on the planet!
These caucasoids don’ want to see a Black man succeed, and they definitely, don’t want to see O’Drama in the Black House a second term!
This is all they are worried about…nothing more; nothing less! We are dealing with LIARS, HATERS, and RACISTS, and they are NOT GOING TO CHANGE! Therefore, it’s time to BOYCOTT!!!
willard and his family are in this thang together, and they are going to CHEAT, and LIE their way into the Black House…I GURANTEE YOU!!!
Y’all must remember, that caucasoids have been STEALING, CHEATING and LYING all their d*mn lives, and this is in their bloodline! They only OVERstand WICKEDNESS, and the majority of these crackers are going to vote for them, even these poor cracker hillbillies to make sure O’Drama fails!!!
WATCH WHAT I SAY!!!
HATE ON HATERS…HATE ON!!!
