| Comment : | 2] Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has ties to the largest voting machine
company, Election Systems & Software (ES&S) located in Omaha, Nebraska. ES&S was the ONLY company whose machines counted Hagel's votes when he ran for election in 1996 and 2002.
ES&S counts approximately 60 percent of all votes cast in the United States.
According to the Omaha World-Herald which is also a beneficial owner of
ES&S, Hagel was CEO of American Information Systems, now called ES&S, from November 1993 through June 2, 1994. He was Chairman from July 1992 until March 15 1995.
Hagel still owns up to $5 million in the ES&S parent company, McCarthy Group. He was required to disclose these positions on his FEC Personal Disclosure statements, but he did not.
This is clearly a potential conflict of interest. | |
