FBI Forensic Computer Crime Experts Asked To Investigate Romney-Owned Machines

Fair Elections | 05.11.2012 18:01 | Anti-militarism | Technology | Workers' Movements | Cambridge | World

In the US, Mitt and Ann Romney and 2 of their sons have controlling interest in Hart Intercivic, the machines which in Cincinnati in the middle of the night turned 300,000 Kerry votes into Bush votes in 2004. ESS, another Republican owned 'voting machine' company, has added untested software patches to their scanners.

In the US, the Green Party is asking the FBI to send in forensic computer crime experts to investigate the software Romney-owned Solamere has put into Cincinnati Ohio and other swing state voting machines, and to investigate ESS software patches which have unchecked by the Republican Secretary of State been put on ESS machines in Ohio and elsewhere. Libertarians are working as well. Billionaires and Ballot Bandits is a book by Greg Palast.

Solamere, a private equity firm started by Taggart Romney with 10 million dollars from his father, as well as by chief Romney fundraiser Spencer Zwick and Bain Capital operative Eric Scheuermann, bought half interest in Hart Intercivic. The other half is owned by H.I.G. in which Mitt and Ann Romney and 2 of their sons are heavily invested. Hart Intercivic are the machines which in the middle of the night in 2004 turned 300,000 Kerry votes in Cincinnati fraudulently to Bush, giving Bush his 2nd unelected installation in the White House.

Solamere controls the software programming for these machines. Undervoting is easy to program. A machine can be programmed to record only 2 of every 3 votes for a certain candidate.There are infinite variations of the undervote. Because the programming is invisible, inspectors cannot look at voting and know what is occurring.

Republican owned Election Systems And Software, the company whose CEO Chuck Hagel installed himself as a US Senator from Nebraska, has added secret software patches to their scanning machines in Ohio and elsewhere, patches untested.

Republican or conservative owned machines include Dominion of Canada (which decided the recall of Walker in Wisconsin in his favor), Unisyn, owned by a Malaysian gambling company, Scytl, Sequoia and Hart InterCivic

OHIO

In Ohio, the Republican Secretary of State Husted has removed over ONE MILLION voters from the Ohio rolls. Bob Fitrakis, coauthor of Did George W. Bush Steal America's 2004 Election? reported this.

He has cut back to 1 per county the places people could vote. Therefore TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED people in Cleveland waited in the cold for hours to vote.

In Akron, Husted arranged that the only place to vote had only a few parking places.

Around Ohio, Husted puts untested voting machines in 39 counties.

Election Systems and Software has added untested patch software to its scanners.

55 of 88 counties in Ohio destroyed the paper trail in 2004 so that no recount could occur.

TEXAS

Texas where Governor Perry just murdered the 255th prisoner (breaking G W Bush's record yet again) has an unconstitutional poll tax in which those seeking ID are charged over $20.

Even CSpan is fraudulent in giving the minority Republicans the same airtime as the combined numbers of third party and independent voters.
