Subject: Re: Vote Counting Company Tied to Romney
Frank and All Voters,
The mistake most of us average Americans make is that we believe all people are reasonable, fair-minded, and honest.
So when we have been told over and over that our democratic process is the best in the entire Universe, and our elections are above reproach, we believe it.
We go about behaving as if it is true and always will be so.
It would seem to me that this quality ought to be applauded and held in high esteem. But it appears that a certain 1% of Americans, us are not included, sneer at our innocence, and view it as a weakness rather than a virtue.
I hope we never lose that honesty. This means that the only way to protect ourselves is to refuse to play on the playing field of the 1%, and never allow the 1% to play on our playing field.

Also how many swing states are there this year? 50 of course, when you consider the right wing vote stealing.

Vote Counting Company Tied to Romney
By Gerry Bello & Bob Fitrakis, Free Press
29 September 12
Beveral Tanker trucks full of political ink have been spilled on Mitt
Romney's tenure as a vulture capitalist at Bain Capital. A more important
story, however, is the fact that Bain alumni, now raising big money as
Romney bundlers are also in the electronic voting machine business. This
appears to be a repeat of the the infamous former CEO of Diebold Wally
O'Dell, who raised money for Bush while his company supplied voting machines
and election management software in the 2004 election.
In all 234 counties of Texas, the entire states of Hawaii and Oklahoma, half
of Washington and Colorado, and certain counties in swing state Ohio, votes
will be cast on eSlate and ePollbook machines made by Hart Intercivic. Hart
Intercivic machines have famously failed in Tarrant County (Ft. Worth),
adding 10,000 non-existant votes. The EVEREST study, commissioned by the
Ohio secretary of state in 2007, found serious security flaws with Hart
Intercivic products.
Looking beyond the well-documented Google choking laundry list of apparent
fraud, failure and seeming corruption that is associated with Hart
Intercivic, an ongoing Free Press investigation turned its attention to the
key question of who owns the voting machine companies. The majority of the
directors of Hart come from the private equity firm H.I.G. Capital. H.I.G.
has been heavily invested in Hart Intercivic since July 2011, just in time
for the current presidential election cycle. But who is H.I.G Capital?
Out of 49 partners and directors, 48 are men, and 47 are white. Eleven of
these men, including H.I.G. Founder Tony Tamer, were formerly employed at
Bain and Company, and two of those men, John P. Bolduc, Douglas Berman, are
Romney bundlers along with former Bain and H.I.G. manager Brian Shortsleeve.
Additionally, four of these men were formerly employed at Booz Allen
Hamilton. Booz Allen, now owned by the Bush family friendly Carlyle group,
also made voting machines for the United States military. Booz Allen was
also the key subcontractor for the controversial PioneerGroundbreaker
program, an NSA data mining operation that gathered information on American
citizens until it was shut down and replaced with even more invasive
successor programs like MATRIX and Total Information Awareness.
H.I.G. Capital employees have given $338,000 to Mitt Romney's campaign. That
amounts to over $1500 per employee. Bain Capital, Mitt's former company, by
comparison, only gave him $268,000. H.I.G. is the 11th largest donor to the
Romney Campaign. Clearly they are working really hard for their man. It
appears that they will work even harder on election night. Although not
boisterously promising to deliver states where their machines are to Romney
as Wally O'Dell of Diebold did for Bush in 2004, they can launder hundreds
of thousands of votes and swing the vote in the crucial swing state Ohio.
Will Mitt's cronies steal our democracy the way they stole our jobs? Time
will tell, but they have certainly positioned themselves to do so if they
choose.
In our first investigative article Who owns Scytl? George Soros isn't in the
voting machines, but the intelligence community is.
the Free Press revealed that Scytl, a Spanish-based company now contracted
to count 25% of the U.S. presidential vote, has ties to Booz Allen. Scytl's
start up funding comes from three European Venture Capital Firms, Balderton
Capital, Nauta Capital, and Spinnaker SCR. The director of Nauta's American
operations is Dominic Endicott, who went from Cluster Consulting to Booz
Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) where he oversaw wireless practice. He then
rejoined his former colleagues from Cluster Consulting at Nauta. In his
capacity as a Nauta partner Endicott also sits on the board of CarrierIQ.
Scytl has emerged as the most mysterious election counting company in this
presidential election. Scytl claims to have a Scytl USA division located in
Glen Allen, Virginia. The following is a photo of the Scytl USA national
corporate offices at 6012 Glen Allen Drive. The land deed records show that
the ownership of the property at that address is Hugh Gallagher, now listed
as the managing director of Scytl USA. The deed, which was prepared in Ohio
by a relocation firm in 2002, pre-dates the creation of Scytl USA. A Scytl
USA sales office is located in Baltimore, Maryland, and appears to be a
Rent-an-Office, often referred to as a "virtual" office with a shared
secretary that serves as a mail drop.
The ties of Hart Intercivic to Romney fund-raisers and Bain alumni should
cause concern in the Obama re-election campaign. So, should the mysterious
Spanish owned company, Scytl, with a U.S operation that seems to be an
illusion.
