Sent this link to someone I know who works at the Washington Post, asking if they will be looking into it.

LuLu - I quit considering Todd as a viable and trustworthy journalist long ago.

I'm more concerned that I haven't seen this published on any MSM - This is at the very least newsworthy and cause for concern. I'm a thinkin' that flower is way more right than wrong about the fear that this election will be perverted by any means possible by the Kochs and their cohorts, and yes that includes Romney.

What can be done? I'm tempted to email Marshall and Sullivan, Politico and whoever if only to get some response. What do you think?

Aunt Sam, don't follow this

Here it is, so what can we do about it?

http://truth-out.org/news/item/12204-does-the-romney-family-now-own-your...

The article states in part:

Through a closely held equity fund called Solamere, Mitt Romney and his wife, son and brother are major investors in an investment firm called H.I.G. Capital. H.I.G. in turn holds a majority share and three out of five board members in Hart Intercivic, a company that owns the notoriously faulty electronic voting machines that will count the ballots in swing state Ohio November 7. Hart machines will also be used elsewhere in the United States.

In other words, a candidate for the presidency of the United States, and his brother, wife and son, have a straight-line financial interest in the voting machines that could decide this fall's election. These machines cannot be monitored by the public. But they will help decide who "owns" the White House.

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

They are especially crucial in Ohio, without which no Republican candidate has ever won the White House. In 2004, in the dead of election night, an electronic swing of more than 300,000 votes switched Ohio from the John Kerry column to George W. Bush, giving him a second term. A virtual statistical impossibility, the 6-plus% shift occurred between 12:20 and 2am election night as votes were being tallied by a GOP-controlled information technology firm on servers in a basement in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In defiance of a federal injunction, 56 of Ohio's 88 counties destroyed all election records, making a recount impossible. Ohio's governor and secretary of state in 2004 were both Republicans, as are the governors and secretaries of state in nine key swing states this year.

But there is so much more, please click on link and read in entirety. Now, I'm really upset. How does this happen?

Hey AD, thanks for the link.

Hey AD, thanks for the link. I am really hoping that people in the area are looking at old surveillance video to see if Small discarded other forms.

"Man with firm under contract with Virginia GOP charged with voter registration fraud", Maggie Fazeli Fardand and Ben Pershing, page 1 of Washington Post Metro section in today's print edition

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/republican-campaign-worker-charged-with-voter-registration-fraud/2012/10/19/c07cc378-1a01-11e2-94aa-9240e72ee00b_story.html

Democrats launched a fresh round of attacks on Republicans over the issue of voter fraud Friday after a man working for a firm under contract to the Republican Party of Virginia was accused of discarding state voter registration forms.

Colin Small, 23, of Phoenixville, Pa., was arrested Thursday by sheriff’s deputies in Rockingham County, in the state’s Shenandoah Valley, on 13 charges of voter registration fraud. The alleged crime happened Monday, when a business owner in Harrisonburg, Va., reported that someone had discarded eight voter registration forms behind his store.

The documents had been filled out, placed in a folder and stuffed into a bag, store owner Rob Johnson told a Richmond area NBC affiliate and said in a posting on his Facebook page.

In reply to About 20 years ago, Mr.

Flowerchild, this is a disturbing story. I'm not even sure why, but I think it's something about realizing that our genuinely human efforts to do the right thing can so easily be thwarted at any turn, randomly, by people who just--aren't.
