Leaked Audio Captures Romney Asking Employers To Tell Their Employees How To Vote

[Informer]

October 18, 2012

Newly-discovered audio from a conference call in June captures Mitt Romney asking business owners to urge their employees to vote for him.

Romney, speaking on a call to the very conservative National Federation of Independent Business, tells a group of business owners that they should "make it very clear" how they feel about the candidates. The audio, discovered by In These Times, also captures Romney telling the business owners to "pass… along to your employees" how their jobs might be effected by who wins in November:

I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections. And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view, I hope - I hope you pass those along to your employees. Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I think that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision and of course doing that with your family and your kids as well.
​

There have already been some reports of employers suggesting how their employees should cast their ballots. A CEO of a Florida resort company threatened to fire his employees if Obama won. The CEO of a timeshare company did the same. And the famous right-wing Koch brothers warned of "consequences" of not voting for Romney.

Ni hatari sana kwa afya yako kuacha mafisadi kuendelea kutafuna nchi wakiwaacha watoto, wanawake, walimu, madaktari n.k. wakilalamika kwa maisha magumu. Angalia ukimwonea huruma kupe akunyonye damu yako basi hataacha hadi umekauka kabisa. Siasa ni mfumo wa kutawala rasilimali za nchi. Tusikubali siasa mbaya za kutawala rasilimali zetu Tanzania. I love you Tz.

From: Why Do The Gallup Poll's Likely Voter Results Differ From The Rest?

Gallup's results are very different, at least for now, compared to most of the national polls, just as they were in 2010. The best advice may be what political scientist and blogger Jonathan Bernstein offered his readers: As "with every polling number," he wrote," "ignore it, and look at the polling averages."
