CORRUPTION: Bain-Controlled Company Owns 2012 Voting Machines

  • 0:00 - 0:02
    [Pakman] Here's some interesting information.
  • 0:02 - 0:04
    We talked earlier in the week.
  • 0:04 - 0:06
    - maybe it was last week, I'm losing
    track of time -
  • 0:06 - 0:11
    of voter fraud - voter suppression -
    confirmed on behalf of the Republican
  • 0:11 - 0:15
    Party and we talked about the fired
    voter registration company. Now we have
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    uh... a lot of Bain alumni that are
    raising big money as Mitt Romney
  • 0:19 - 0:20
    bundlers
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    and they are also involved
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    in the electronic voting machine
    business. This is pretty interesting
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    stuff. This is kind of a repeat of that
    infamous
  • 0:28 - 0:32
    CEO of Diebold, Wally O'Dell who raised
    money for Bush while his company
  • 0:32 - 0:36
    supplied the voting machines for 2004 election.
  • 0:36 - 0:38
    We're seeing almost the exact same thing,
    Lewis.
  • 0:38 - 0:39
    [Lewis] Okay, continue.
  • 0:39 - 0:42
    [Pakman] No, that's it. now i mean that that would ban same
    thing
  • 0:42 - 0:45
    alright well yeah they're surprised now
    [Pakman] I'll tell the story.
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    In two hundred and thirty-four counties of Texas,
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    the entire state
  • 0:49 - 0:50
    of Hawaii,
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    the entire state of Oklahoma,
  • 0:52 - 0:57
    half of Washington, Colorado, counties in
    swing state Ohio - votes are going to be
  • 0:57 - 1:02
    cast on these Eastlake and eat whole
    book machines. Now who makes those
  • 1:02 - 1:05
    machines? A company called Hart Intercivic.
  • 1:05 - 1:11
    Hart Intercivic machines famously tainted
    in Tarrant County which is Fort Worth,
  • 1:11 - 1:16
    adding ten thousand non-existent votes.
    The Everett study, which was commissioned by
  • 1:16 - 1:20
    the Ohio secretary of state back in 2007 found that there were a
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    number of security flaws with the Hart Intercivic products. No surprise - we hear
  • 1:24 - 1:27
    all the time of these flaws.
  • 1:27 - 1:29
    [Lewis] Right.
  • 1:29 - 1:31
    [Pakman] An ongoing free press investigation turned
  • 1:31 - 1:33
    the attention to who owns the voting
    machine companies. You know what's coming,
  • 1:33 - 1:34
    Lewis, we all know what's coming.
  • 1:34 - 1:36
    [Lewis] Here it comes. .
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    [Pakman] The majority of the directors of Hart Intercivic
  • 1:38 - 1:42
    come from a private equity firm. The
    private equity firm is called HIG Captial.
  • 1:42 - 1:46
    Now HIG Capital has been
    heavily invested in Hart since about
  • 1:46 - 1:50
    July of 2011 - just in time for the
    current presidential cycle.
  • 1:50 - 1:52
    So the question is what. Well,
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    Who is HIG Capital?
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    Out of 49 partners and directors of
    HIG Capital,
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    Forty-eight are men.
  • 2:00 - 2:02
    Forty-seven are white.
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    And eleven of these men, including the
    founder,
  • 2:05 - 2:06
    Tony Tamer, were at one point employed by none other than. . .[leading Lewis to guess answer]
  • 2:06 - 2:11
    [Lewis] Mitt Romney?
  • 2:11 - 2:14
    [Pakman] Bain Capital.
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    bain and company to be specific two of
    those men john paul dot and douglas
  • 2:17 - 2:22

    with former bain and h edgy manager

    thousand dollars to mit romney's
    campaign about fifteen hundred bucks per
  • 2:29 - 2:34

    gave romney two hundred and sixty eight
  • 2:34 - 2:37
