0:00 - 0:00[The David Pakman Show graphic]
-
0:00 - 0:02[Pakman begins speaking before he appears on screen] Here's some interesting information.
-
0:02 - 0:04We talked earlier in the week.
-
0:04 - 0:06- maybe it was last week, I'm losing
track of time - -
0:06 - 0:10of voter fraud - voter suppression -
confirmed on the behalf of the Republican -
0:10 - 0:13Party and we talked about the fired
voter registration company. Now we have -
0:13 - 0:18uh... a lot of Bain alumni that are
raising big money as Mitt Romney -
0:18 - 0:20bundlers
-
0:20 - 0:23and they are also involved
-
0:23 - 0:25in the electronic voting machine
business. This is pretty interesting -
0:25 - 0:27stuff. This is kind of a repeat of that
infamous -
0:27 - 0:32CEO of Diebold, Wally O'Dell, who raised
money for Bush while his company -
0:32 - 0:36supplied the voting machines for 2004 election.
-
0:36 - 0:38We're seeing almost the exact same thing,
Lewis. -
0:38 - 0:39[Lewis] Okay, continue.
-
0:39 - 0:40[Pakman] No, I mean, that's it.
-
0:40 - 0:42[Lewis] That's it? Alright, well yeah, no surprise.
-
0:42 - 0:45[Pakman] So I'll tell the story.
-
0:45 - 0:47In 234 counties of Texas,
-
0:47 - 0:50the entire state of Hawaii,
-
0:50 - 0:52the entire state of Oklahoma,
-
0:52 - 0:57half of Washington, Colorado, counties in
swing state Ohio - votes are going to be -
0:57 - 1:02cast on these E-Slate and E-Pollbook machines. Now who makes those machines?
-
1:02 - 1:06A company called Hart Intercivic.
-
1:06 - 1:10Hart Intercivic machines famously tainted
in Tarrant County, which is Fort Worth, -
1:10 - 1:16adding ten thousand non-existent votes.
The Everett study, which was commissioned by -
1:16 - 1:20the Ohio secretary of state back in 2007 found that there were a
-
1:20 - 1:24number of security flaws with the Hart Intercivic products. No surprise - we hear
-
1:24 - 1:25all the time of these flaws.
-
1:25 - 1:26[Lewis] Right.
-
1:26 - 1:28[Pakman] An ongoing free press investigation turned
-
1:28 - 1:33the attention to who owns the voting
machine companies. You know what's coming, -
1:33 - 1:34Lewis, we all know what's coming.
-
1:34 - 1:35[Lewis] Here it comes. .
-
1:35 - 1:38[Pakman] The majority of the directors of Hart Intercivic
-
1:38 - 1:42come from a private equity firm. The
private equity firm is called HIG Captial. -
1:42 - 1:45Now HIG Capital has been
heavily invested in Hart since about -
1:45 - 1:50July of 2011 - just in time for the
current presidential cycle. -
1:50 - 1:52So the question is what? Well,
-
1:52 - 1:54Who is HIG Capital?
-
1:54 - 1:58Out of 49 partners and directors of
HIG Capital, -
1:58 - 2:00Forty-eight are men.
-
2:00 - 2:02Forty-seven are white.
-
2:02 - 2:04And eleven of these men, including the
founder, -
2:04 - 2:09Tony Tamer, were at one point employed by none other than. . .[leading Lewis to guess answer]
-
2:09 - 2:11[Lewis] Mitt Romney?
-
2:11 - 2:13[Pakman] Bain Capital.
-
2:13 - 2:14[Lewis] Well, yeah.
-
2:14 - 2:17[Pakman] Bain and company, to be specific. Two of
those men John [Balduk - unintelligible] and Douglas -
2:17 - 2:22Berman are Romney bundlers,along
with former Bain and HIG manager -
2:22 - 2:26Brian Shortsleeve. These employees have
given $338,000 -
2:26 - 2:29to Mitt Romney's campaign. That's about fifteen hundred bucks per
-
2:29 - 2:34employee. Bain Capital, by comparison, only
gave Romney $268,. -
2:34 - 2:36HIG is the 11th largest donor to the Mitt Romney
-
2:36 - 2:41campaign and they are really working
hard for their man, -
2:41 - 2:45also owning a lot of the voting machines that will be tallying the results.
-
2:45 - 2:48Ladies and gentlemen, the system is corrupt.
-
2:48 - 2:53[Lewis] I don't care what state it is or where
the machines came from, -
2:53 - 2:56there should not be machines.
-
2:56 - 2:57[Pakman] You think
we just need paper ballots? -
2:57 - 2:59[Lewis] Absolutely. You know why?
-
2:59 - 3:04because if people are going to falsify things,
-
3:04 - 3:07it's a lot harder to falsify 10,000
-
3:07 - 3:09hand-written ballots than it is
-
3:09 - 3:10[Pakman] It is.
-
3:10 - 3:11[Lewis] doing this on a keyboard.
-
3:11 - 3:16[Pakman] Yeah, but local news needs the results by
eleven p.m. eastern. -
3:16 - 3:20[Lewis] Don't care, don't care.
-
3:20 - 3:22[Pakman] So ladies and gentlemen, that's what's going on. You to be aware of this - you need to be aware
-
3:22 - 3:24of all the voter suppression and
election fraud that's going on. -
