   Forbes magazine writer Rick Ungar is reporting that the  Hart Intercivic Voting Machine Co. is a major campaign donor to Mitt Romney's election. and that two of its CEO's,, Douglas Berman and Brian Schwartz, were actually in attendance at the secretly taped ,infamous $50,000 per plate " 47 percent " fundraiser in Boca Raton, Florida.
   Forbes magazine also states Romney's son Tagg and Tagg's uncle Scott, have shared business interests with the voting machine company. The Hart voting machines are in place in many swing states, including Ohio.  
   Ungar states "  The Romney family couldn't find anything else to invest in ? and " Is it really too much to ask that those who control the voting machines, that record and count the votes of our elections be held to at least the same standard ".
   Ungar adds ' Yet, because of this uncomfortable chain of ownership, we now find ourselves with one more headache among the many headaches that accompany the important work of choosing an American President and believing that the process was a fair one - particularly when such an election comes down to a very few votes as may well be the case on Election Day, 2012 ".

 Yeah Labrat your probably right. The fact that the owners of the Hart Intercivic Voting Machine Co. attended Romney's $50,000 per plate fund raiser was most likely a coincidence. What was Forbes magazine thinking ?Response to Re: Romney's Investment Ties To Voting Machine Company:

  The Hart Intercivic Voting Machine company also donated $330,000 to the Romney Campaign and their voting machines will be used in our swing states. Can you say " Conflict of Interest " loud enough !!! Turns out the machines are paperless and will be monitored by Hart Intercivic employees for security reasons.
   I'm sure our votes will be counted fairly !!!  It's not like Hart Intercivic has a favorite in this election !!! Response to Re: Romney's Investment Ties To Voting Machine Company:
