Tagg Romney, the son of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, has purchased electronic voting machines that will be used in the 2012 elections in Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington and Colorado.
"Late last month, Gerry Bello and Bob Fitrakis at FreePress.org broke the story of the Mitt Romney/Bain Capital investment team involved in H.I.G. Capital which, in July of 2011, completed a "strategic investment" to take over a fair share of the Austin-based e-voting machine company Hart Intercivic," according to independent journalist Brad Friedman.
But Friedman is not the only one to discover the connection between the Romney family, Bain Capital, and ownership of voting machines.

(37,648 posts)in the company that owns them. Then I THINK (but not clear from the articles) that the company that owns them was bought outright by the company of which Tagg is a big shot. Tagg doesn't own that company he's a big shot in. He's a big shot or a partner (a part owner).
It's kinda murky, not like Tagg outright owning the voting machines.
It may or may not make a difference, but it's seems very unclear exactly what is going on. Still, it seems fishy.
