00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.455
[The David Pakman Show graphic]

00:00:00.455 --> 00:00:01.901
[Pakman begins speaking before he appears on screen] Here's some interesting information.

00:00:01.901 --> 00:00:03.848
We talked earlier in the week.

00:00:03.848 --> 00:00:06.077
- maybe it was last week, I'm losing
track of time -

00:00:06.108 --> 00:00:10.191
of voter fraud - voter suppression -
confirmed on the behalf of the Republican

00:00:10.191 --> 00:00:13.364
Party and we talked about the fired
voter registration company. Now we have

00:00:13.364 --> 00:00:18.433
uh... a lot of Bain alumni that are
raising big money as Mitt Romney

00:00:18.433 --> 00:00:20.144
bundlers

00:00:20.144 --> 00:00:22.541
and they are also involved

00:00:22.541 --> 00:00:25.348
in the electronic voting machine
business. This is pretty interesting

00:00:25.348 --> 00:00:27.184
stuff. This is kind of a repeat of that
infamous

00:00:27.184 --> 00:00:32.185
CEO of Diebold, Wally O'Dell, who raised
money for Bush while his company

00:00:32.185 --> 00:00:36.101
supplied the voting machines for 2004 election.

00:00:36.101 --> 00:00:38.042
We're seeing almost the exact same thing,
Lewis.

00:00:38.042 --> 00:00:39.190
[Lewis] Okay, continue.

00:00:39.190 --> 00:00:40.483
[Pakman] No, I mean, that's it. 


00:00:40.483 --> 00:00:41.555
[Lewis] That's it? Alright, well yeah, no surprise.


00:00:41.555 --> 00:00:44.600
[Pakman] So I'll tell the story.

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.184
In 234 counties of Texas,

00:00:47.184 --> 00:00:49.763
the entire state of Hawaii,

00:00:49.763 --> 00:00:51.593
the entire state of Oklahoma,

00:00:51.593 --> 00:00:56.931
half of Washington, Colorado, counties in
swing state Ohio - votes are going to be

00:00:56.931 --> 00:01:01.684
cast on these E-Slate and E-Pollbook machines. Now who makes those machines?

00:01:01.684 --> 00:01:05.573
A company called Hart Intercivic.

00:01:05.573 --> 00:01:10.145
Hart Intercivic machines famously tainted
in Tarrant County, which is Fort Worth,

00:01:10.145 --> 00:01:15.967
adding ten thousand non-existent votes.
The Everett study, which was commissioned by

00:01:15.967 --> 00:01:20.009
the Ohio secretary of state back in 2007 found that there were a

00:01:20.009 --> 00:01:23.680
number of security flaws with the Hart Intercivic products. No surprise - we hear

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.140
all the time of these flaws.

00:01:25.155 --> 00:01:26.349
[Lewis] Right.

00:01:26.349 --> 00:01:27.968
[Pakman] An ongoing free press investigation turned

00:01:27.968 --> 00:01:32.926
the attention to who owns the voting
machine companies. You know what's coming,

00:01:32.926 --> 00:01:34.071
Lewis, we all know what's coming.

00:01:34.071 --> 00:01:34.863
[Lewis] Here it comes. .

00:01:34.863 --> 00:01:37.678
[Pakman] The majority of the directors of Hart Intercivic

00:01:37.678 --> 00:01:41.773
come from a private equity firm. The
private equity firm is called HIG Captial.

00:01:41.773 --> 00:01:45.322
Now HIG Capital has been
heavily invested in Hart since about

00:01:45.322 --> 00:01:50.310
July of 2011 - just in time for the
current presidential cycle.

00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:51.602
So the question is what? Well,

00:01:51.602 --> 00:01:53.875
Who is HIG Capital?

00:01:53.875 --> 00:01:58.021
Out of 49 partners and directors of
HIG Capital,

00:01:58.021 --> 00:02:00.333
Forty-eight are men.

00:02:00.333 --> 00:02:01.844
Forty-seven are white.

00:02:01.844 --> 00:02:04.215
And eleven of these men, including the
founder,

00:02:04.215 --> 00:02:09.429
Tony Tamer, were at one point employed by none other than. . .[leading Lewis to guess answer]

00:02:09.429 --> 00:02:10.934
[Lewis] Mitt Romney?

00:02:10.934 --> 00:02:12.575
[Pakman] Bain Capital.

00:02:12.575 --> 00:02:13.544
[Lewis] Well, yeah.

00:02:13.544 --> 00:02:16.701
[Pakman] Bain and company, to be specific. Two of
those men John [Balduk - unintelligible] and Douglas

00:02:16.778 --> 00:02:21.715
Berman are Romney bundlers,along
with former Bain and HIG manager

00:02:21.715 --> 00:02:26.049
Brian Shortsleeve. These employees have
given $338,000

00:02:26.049 --> 00:02:28.882
to Mitt Romney's campaign. That's about fifteen hundred bucks per

00:02:28.882 --> 00:02:33.680
employee. Bain Capital, by comparison, only
gave Romney $268,.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.475
HIG is the 11th largest donor to the Mitt Romney

00:02:36.475 --> 00:02:40.598
campaign and they are really working
hard for their man,

00:02:40.598 --> 00:02:44.525
also owning a lot of the voting machines that will be tallying the results.

00:02:44.525 --> 00:02:48.314
Ladies and gentlemen, the system is corrupt.

00:02:48.314 --> 00:02:53.242
[Lewis] I don't care what state it is or where
the machines came from,

00:02:53.242 --> 00:02:55.683
there should not be machines.

00:02:55.683 --> 00:02:57.370
[Pakman] You think
we just need paper ballots?

00:02:57.370 --> 00:02:58.643
[Lewis] Absolutely. You know why?

00:02:58.643 --> 00:03:03.849
because if people are going to falsify things,

00:03:03.849 --> 00:03:06.851
it's a lot harder to falsify 10,000

00:03:06.851 --> 00:03:09.428
hand-written ballots than it is

00:03:09.428 --> 00:03:10.479
[Pakman] It is.

00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:11.049
[Lewis] doing this on a keyboard.

00:03:11.049 --> 00:03:15.761
[Pakman] Yeah, but local news needs the results by
eleven p.m. eastern.

00:03:15.761 --> 00:03:19.546
[Lewis] Don't care, don't care.

00:03:19.546 --> 00:03:22.359
[Pakman] So ladies and gentlemen, that's what's going on. You to be aware of this - you need to be aware

00:03:22.359 --> 00:03:23.874
of all the voter suppression and
election fraud that's going on.

00:03:23.874 --> 00:03:25.000
