Romney-linked Voting Machine Company Will Count Votes in Ohio and Other Crucial Swing States | Alternet

Romney-linked Voting Machine Company Will Count Votes in Ohio and Other Crucial Swing States | Alternet

In that election, as I report in “ Boss Rove ,” Democrat John Kerry had a 4.2 percent lead in the exit polls in Ohio, which would have given him the presidency. George W. Bush won the state by more than two points, however, and, as a result, kept the White House. But a civil suit subsequently alleged that the Ohio results were fraudulent because the Republican Secretary of State of Ohio, Ken Blackwell, contracted with SmarTech, a Tennessee-based tech firm indirectly tied to Karl Rove, to serve as the “failover” site for election results in Ohio on Election Night.
