Did Snopes really dismantle the Romney/Tagg/Bain Voting machine issue?

I'm having hard time with their poo poo'ing the concerns.

1. I don't. I've trusted them debunking bs on many things

Why not this?

2. The conclusion- Tagg doesn't directly own or provide the sketchy voting machines

That's not telling me there's NO concern regarding vote fraud.
Influence is often far less connectible than this.

3. While Snopes is focused on de-bunking ownership, the rest of us are turning to data discrepancies

"Back in February 2012 during the South Carolina primaries, a keen observer noted that the Republican candidate Mitt Romney had an unusual gain of votes in larger precincts. Specifically, the percentage of votes in each precinct strangely i
ncreased as a function of precinct size (vote tally). . . this anomaly is not present in other elections that don't include Republican candidates. . .in 2012, the trends are consistent with Romney making these strange vote gains in all 50 states, except Utah and Puerto Rico. Historically in other contests not involving GOP candidates, we found no significant correlation between precinct vote tally and the percentage success for each candidate."

Electoral vote-flipping: an actual threat. Check out the "mirrored" cumulative vote lines in Republican races in the following study, vs. the straight lines from Democratic races. As an American, I find this incredibly troubling in concert with the Romney family part ownership of Hart Intercivic. http://www.themoneyparty.org/main/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/2008_2012_ElectionsResultsAnomaliesAndAnalysis_V1.51.pdf

4. Good to know that they have a paper trail.

5. Tagg may not own them, but...

it certainly appears that someone with a vested interest in seeing Romney elected does own them.
