[The David Pakman Show]
[Pakman] Here's some interesting information.
We talked earlier in the week.
- maybe it was last week, I'm losing track of time -
of voter fraud - voter suppression - confirmed on behalf of the Republican
Party and we talked about the fired voter registration company. Now we have
uh... a lot of Bain alumni that are raising big money as Mitt Romney
bundlers
and they are also involved
in the electronic voting machine business. This is pretty interesting
stuff. This is kind of a repeat of that infamous
CEO of Diebold, Wally O'Dell who raised money for Bush while his company
supplied the voting machines for 2004 election.
We're seeing almost the exact same thing, Lewis.
[Lewis] Okay, continue.
[Pakman] No, I mean, that's it. thing
[Lewis] That's it? Alright, well yeah, no surprise.
[Pakman] I'll tell the story.
In 234 counties of Texas,
the entire state
of Hawaii,
the entire state of Oklahoma,
half of Washington, Colorado, counties in swing state Ohio - votes are going to be
cast on these Eastlake and [unintelligible] whole book machines. Now who makes those
machines? A company called Hart Intercivic.
Hart Intercivic machines famously tainted in Tarrant County which is Fort Worth,
adding ten thousand non-existent votes. The Everett study, which was commissioned by
the Ohio secretary of state back in 2007 found that there were a
number of security flaws with the Hart Intercivic products. No surprise - we hear
all the time of these flaws.
[Lewis] Right.
[Pakman] An ongoing free press investigation turned
the attention to who owns the voting machine companies. You know what's coming,
Lewis, we all know what's coming.
[Lewis] Here it comes. .
[Pakman] The majority of the directors of Hart Intercivic
come from a private equity firm. The private equity firm is called HIG Captial.
Now HIG Capital has been heavily invested in Hart since about
July of 2011 - just in time for the current presidential cycle.
So the question is what. Well,
Who is HIG Capital?
Out of 49 partners and directors of HIG Capital,
Forty-eight are men.
Forty-seven are white.
And eleven of these men, including the founder,
Tony Tamer, were at one point employed by none other than. . .[leading Lewis to guess answer]
[Lewis] Mitt Romney?
[Pakman] Bain Capital.
[Lewis] Well, yeah.
[Pakman] Bain and company, to be specific. Two of those men John [Balduk - unintelligible] and Douglas
Berman are Romney bundlers,along with former Bain and HIG manager
Brian Shortsleeve. These employees have given $338,000
thousand dollars to mit romney's campaign about fifteen hundred bucks per
employee bain capital by comparison only gave romney two hundred and sixty eight
thousand dollars each edgy if the eleven th largest donor to the never on the
campaign and they are really working hard for their man also owning a lot of
the voting machines that will be telling the results
