Will Bain-Linked E-Voting Machines Give Romney the White House?

Electronic voting machines owned by Mitt Romney's business buddies and set to count the votes in Cincinnati could decide the 2012 election.

The narrative is already being hyped by the corporate media. As Kelly O'Donnell reported for NBC's Today Show on Monday, October 8, Ohio's Hamilton County is "ground zero" for deciding who holds the White House come January, 2013.

O'Donnell pointed out that no candidate has won the White House without carrying Ohio since John Kennedy did it in 1960. No Republican has EVER won the White House without Ohio's electoral votes.

1. This is very, very, very, very, very possible. It's my biggest fear. I KNOW Americans will vote

for Obama. I just don't trust the vote-counters.

2. Since it's already known,

Then we should DEMAND a hand count. And if the machines give receipts, then count those. We need our own watchers there. If this were the other way around, the GOP would be crying over this like we SHOULD be.

3. I would bet on it, especially if late polls look cloudy.

4. Not by themselves, but with other voter suppression and election fraud, it's quite possible ...

... and scares the shit out of me.

5. He owns 1200 radio stations and the voting machines

for Obama to prevail will require a Herculean effort. OTOH the Dems have known about the problem for 8-12 years and done nothing about it - nothing. Then they wonder why their base isn't as excited as the Teabaggers. That problem is easily deciphered - the Repukes actually represent the teabaggers, while the DC Dems care nothing for us.

6. If Romney wins

it will be ONLY because of the Bain-linked E-Voting machines.
