This was published last week, but I just stumbled on it and couldn't find it posted to FR. Something to worry about?

Good Lord, the Saudis are going to own controlling interest in a company that provides absentee ballots to U.S. troops! Now, how effed up is that?!

In a Newsday interview in October, Charles Smith, a representative of Osan who sits on Election.com's board, declined to name the Saudi Arabian investors with a stake in the company, other than to say they were "passive” and part of a larger group that included Americans and Europeans. Smith didn't return phone calls Wednesday.

Let me quess .. Friends of the Clinton's

Good find.

This is clearly beyond outrageous. The Saudi terrorists of 9-11 and today study American society for all its weaknesses. Wherever they spot a weakness, they will attempt to exploit it.

We should have a law, and if there is not one there should be, that there can be no foreign ownership in any part of any election related business including voting machines, online voting services, election polling and the like.

I am still wary of software controlled voting machines. Officials seem to think that a test program will prevent fraud, but they are wrong. As was discussed on FR at length during the Election 2000 fiasco, a ballot coded in a rare way can be used to trigger software code to count differently.

Would that group include Frogs, Krauts and DemonRATs?

Good LORD! Switch companies!! NOW!!

I'm sorry for how prejudicial this sounds, but I don't want nationals from Saudi, whos' FELLOW nationals attacked the WTC and Pentagon on 9/11 to have ANYTHING TO DO WITH AMERICAN ELECTIONS!! That Saudi prince blamed the US for 9/11! They hold benefits for terrorists!
