Romney Family Owns Voting Machines Used to Count Ballots in Ohio this November

Ok, feeling quite sick here.

The "notoriously faulty" voting machines owned by the Romney family "will be used in the 2012 elections in Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington and Colorado":

"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." 

Both The Nation and New York Times confirm the connection between the Romney family, Solamere and the Bain Capital investment in the voting machine company, Hart Intercivic, whose board of directors serve H.I.G. Capital.
