SEIU The Union for State Employees, (Government Employees) - In my humble opinion not even justified to exist since Unions were born to defend workers from their employer's abuses and others maladies while fighting for increasing "credible" benefits, and given the fact that the Government provide better salaries and benefits we in the private sector will never dare to compare. What is the purpose of the Union?- But I digress, this is a matter of a different discussion. SEIU, for their own purposes and interests (like all unions) is partial to the Democrat Party, partial in this case means it will provide funds for their candidates and a myriad of other activities related to "recruitment and convincing". It will parade and protest, so there is no doubt who they are rutting for. In the light of these known facts, wouldn't be a conflict of interest for them to be working with the voting machines? aren't they too close to the flame? Who pushed the idea of giving them the contract? It must have come from someone in the Republican Party. If fraud is ever blamed on the machines, by extension it will reach the Democrats.
