Related: About this forumNina Turner just on the Ed Show....
Nina Turner is a Congresswoman from Ohio, and really the best part of the Ed show, imo. I really like hearing her talk! She was just explaining that people should be more concerned with GOTV than with Tagg Romney's distant connection to the company that makes the voting machines in Hamilton county.
Any other fans of Nina out there? I don't know that much about her, but she speaks the truth!

Just because there are Dem and GOP folks that 'approve' the machines does NOT mean that those people know enough about what is on the inside of them in the 'program.
I think she was way off in her opinion.
I want EVERYONE to be concerned and outraged about those machines!
No one that is related to a candidate should be part owner of voting machines !!!
Grrrr...

Tagg Romney Invested in Ohio Electronic Voting Machines
If the Romneys cant win legally, theyll take over Ohios electronic voting machines through investments.
The new owners of Ohios voting machines are owned by no other than Tagg Romney the son of one of the Candidates. By virtue of conflict of interest alone, this should be investigated by the DOJ preferably involving the addition of the FBI, Homeland Security and the CIA to ensure this connection will not endanger the vote in Ohio and other states.
Tagg Romney the heir to the Romney fortunes (through Vulture Capitalism) is a chip off the old block and his dad scored big destroying American jobs through leveraging profitable companies.
In 2008 after Romney lost the 2008 bid for President it was all clear for Mitt Romneys son Tagg Romney to invest in a company called Solamere Capital which is a direct subsidiary of Allen Stanfords Bank and investment companies.

Republicans are Engaging in a Concerted Illegal Effort to Hijack the Election
There is a debate within psychology that is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (genetic) or acquired (learned) characteristics referred to as nature versus nurture. It is difficult to look carefully at human behavior and succumb to one or the other side in the nature v. nurture debate, and it is reasonable to conclude that both inherited and personal experiences shape a human beings character and behavior. There are some behaviors that appear to be innate in groups, and the persistent reports of voter fraud specific to Republicans leads one to wonder if it is a learned or natural behavior to commit fraud on the electorate at such high frequency. It certainly appears that cheating to win elections is intrinsic to Republicans, and especially the GOPs standard bearer, Willard Romney. After observing Romney over the past ten months, it is obvious his megalomania and mendacity did not come from his father, and it leads one wonder if Willard taught his sons that, in the pursuit of power and greed, nothing is out of bounds.
With all the reports of GOP voter fraud and attempts to suppress the vote, it appears that cheating is endemic to Republicans and apparently, Willard Romney. Any questions about the legitimacy of Romneys campaign were answered when a recording surfaced where he asked business owners to pressure employees to influence their votes. Intimidation, restricting voting access, and disposing of voter registration forms are all despicable attempts to fix an election, but Romney, his wife, son, and brother have taken the next logical step and bought electronic voting machines used in Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, Washington and Colorado. Apparently in politics, electoral fraud is a learned behavior inherent to Republicans, especially those named Romney.
On Wednesday this column reported that Romneys Bain Capital business partners owned electronic voting machines in Ohio through H.I.G. Capital that took over Hart Intercivic last year. H.I.G. employees contributed to Romneys campaign, and two H.I.G. Directors are major Romney fundraisers that should have raised the alarm and a Department of Justice investigation. Now it is confirmed that through a closely held equity fund called Solamere, Romney, his wife, son, and brother are major investors in H.I.G. Capital that holds a majority share and three out of five board members in Hart Intercivic, the electronic voting machine company.
The Romney gang investments are through the private equity firm Solamere Capital run by Tagg Romney, Willards eldest son. Recent revelations and disclosures from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) link Willard and Tagg Romney to Solamere Advisors, a company that maintains ties with the Ponzi-linked firm, Solamere Advisors. Romney invested $10 million in Taggs Solamere Capital venture, which suggests Willard has a financial relationship with fraudsters involved in a Ponzi scheme. In May, Willard and Tagg Romney were implicated in an $8.5 billion Ponzi scheme with Wall Street investors Allen Stanford and James M. Davis.
