(20,390 posts)when it is one of two (out of 88) counties in OH that use Hart Intercivic voting machines:
Tagg Romney's private equity firm, Solamere Capital, is invested in another private equity firm called H.I.G. Capital. A little over a year ago, H.I.G. invested heavily in Hart and took over its board.

That said, several top executives at H.I.G. are what's known as bundlers for the Romney campaign, according to a database created by USA Today using data from the Sunlight Foundation. That means they have raised tons of money for Romney. There are also three H.I.G. executives on the board of Hart InterCivic, and two of them have donated to Mitt Romney's campaign (though one gave to both Romney and President Obama in the last election cycle).

Proprietary source code in machines shown to be vulnerable to tampering owned by a GOP controlled business with so much power & money in stake make me sick to my stomach.
