Voting machine company invested in by who?

Hart InterCivic makes the voting machines being used in Hamilton County, population 833,00. *

Four HIG executives (Tony Tamer, John Bolduc, Douglas Berman and Brian D. Schwartz) have been identified as Romney bundlers by independent watchdog groups such as the Sunlight Foundation. HIG employees as a whole have donated $338,000 to the Romney campaign this year, according to Open Secrets.

And an investor in the company that invests in voting machines? Tagg Romney!! (reality stranger than fiction?)

Couldn't be a problem there could there? sigh.

And then he did it again but made the engine bigger. One has 13,000 miles on it, the other has more. Reliable, clean and leak free, and the sound is just as remarkable as he describes it here. I'd love to see him make a living at this but he says to many people that say they are exited to have ...
