Will E-Voting Machines Owned by His Buddies Give Mitt Romney the White House?
by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman
Electronic voting machines owned by Mitt Romney's business buddies and set to count the votes in Cincinnati could decide the 2012 election.
The narrative is already being hyped by the corporate media. As Kelly O'Donnell reported for NBC's Today Show on Monday, October 8, Ohio's Hamilton County is "ground zero" for deciding who holds the White House come January, 2013.
O'Donnell pointed out that no candidate has won the White House without carrying Ohio since John Kennedy did it in 1960. No Republican has ever won the White House without Ohio's electoral votes.
As we document in the e-book Will the GOP Steal America's 2012 Election? (www.freepress.org) George W. Bush got a second term in 2004 thanks to the manipulation of the electronic vote count by Ohio's then-Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell. Blackwell served as the co-chair of the state's committee to re-elect Bush/Cheney while simultaneously administering the election.

(39,313 posts)There were two articles on yahoo.com's front page and MSNBC was pushing this narrative all day yesterday. Don't know about CNN etc.
My take on it is that it's a coordinated attempt and we don't know all that they've planned leading up to Nov. 6th.
There are several threads on DU about the falsely represented Romney rallies in OH. The media was compliant in not showing long shots of the audience. Any non msm photos showed the attempt to push everyone together to make it seem crowded but the real numbers were 1000-2000 and the media was claiming 8+ thousand, these numbers were different per venue but always greatly exaggerated.
Thank god for the work being done in Ohio and the good turn out for Obama so far ...
