...A quick Internet search reveals that there may be reason for concern.
A test conducted in 2007 by the Ohio Secretary of State revealed that five of the electronic voting systems the state was looking to use in the upcoming 2008 presidential election had failed badly, each easily susceptible to chicanery that could alter the results of an election.
As reported in the New York Times, At polling stations, teams working on the study were able to pick locks to access memory cards and use hand-held devices to plug false vote counts into machines. At boards of election, they were able to introduce malignant software into servers.
We learn that one of the companies whose machines had failed was none other than Hart Intercivic.
With television time to fill and no ability to declare a winner so that the long nights broadcast can be brought to a close, the staffs keep digging for relevant information to keep the attention of their viewersand that is when it gets very real.
It turns out that Hart Intercivic is owned, in large part, by H.I.G. Capitala large investment fund with billions of dollars under managementthat was founded by a fellow named Tony Tamer. While is is unclear just how much H.I.G. owns of Hart Intercivic, we do learn that H.I.G. employees hold at least two of the five Hart Intercivic board seats. A little more digging turns up a few tidbits of data than soon become the story.
Tony Tamer, H.I.G.s founder, turns out to be a major bundler for the Mitt Romney campaign, along with three other directors of H.I.G. who are also big-time money raisers for Romney.
Indeed, as fate would have it, two of those directorsDouglas Berman and Brian Schwartz were actually in attendance at the now infamous "47 percent" fundraiser in Boca Raton, Florida.
