Here's The Truth About The Story About The Romneys Investing In The Company That Makes The Voting Machines

Conclusion:

But you've got to admit... The connection here is close enough that it creates, if not the appearance of impropriety, at least the appearance of the potential for impropriety.

Electronic voting machines are controversial. And in the past, at least, they have been blamed for some mysterious voting results, in Ohio and elsewhere.

The close connection between the Romneys, the Romney campaign, and the voting-machine company, therefore, looks bad, regardless of whether the Romney family-linked fund actually has a "direct or indirect" investment in the voting machine company.

Not the "appearance of impropriety" but the "appearance of the potential for impropriety."
