"The use of some 19,000 electronic voting machines in the city of Chicago and Cook County primary on March 21 is now under intense scrutiny." "The US company that makes the machines, Sequoia, was bought in 2005 by Smartmatic, a private company primarily owned by Venezuelan businessmen." "I think that American elections ought to be run by American companies and ought to be run by American citizens, not Venezuelan nationals." "We believe this is a national security issue. There is no way that companies belonging to non US corporations should have access to our elections." "In the case of, Smartmatic, there are a number of unanswered questions." "Certainly, our government should know."

A group of Venezuelan businessmen bought an American company that supplies electronic voting machines and counts votes, but the government has not reviewed the sale. Smartmatic, based in Boca Raton, provides voting machines in local US elections, but only has a few employees in Florida and is a labyrinth of international holding companies owned by Venezuelan businessmen. Electronic voting experts claim it's nearly impossible to verify if a proprietary system is tamper-proof. Voter watchdog groups and some in Congress are calling for a full review of the ownership of all electronic voting companies to determine if it poses a risk to US elections. The US Treasury Department would not confirm if a review was underway on Smartmatic. Watchdog groups question why US voting machines would be under the control of citizens of another country, especially one with a suspect election process. One congressman wrote to the Secretary of Treasury asking for a review of Smartmatic's ownership, which he says is offshore and murky.

Dominion machines are certified and sealed, but vulnerabilities exist. Before elections, a supposed glitch prompts an emergency patch that opens backdoor access from a Serbian office, which is the true operational center of Dominion. This office, despite being presented as a U.S. company, has connections to Chinese nationals and operates on Huawei machines. Using virtual machines, they manipulate election results by creating a hidden environment within the county election equipment. After altering the data, they collapse the virtual machine, leaving no trace unless a forensic audit is conducted. This manipulation is facilitated through connections to China, raising concerns about the integrity of the election process. For more information, visit Stolen Elections Facts.

We demonstrated how easily election machines can be hacked, raising concerns about the limited number of companies controlling voting technology. 43% of American voters use machines with security flaws, and some states lack a paper trail to verify results. The lack of transparency in cybersecurity practices is alarming.

"Smartmatic is a labyrinth of international holding companies owned by Venezuelan businessmen." "When Smartmatic bought The US voting machine companies, the US government did not review the sale." "Many experts say those voting machines were manipulated in Venezuela to give president Hugo Chavez a victory." "Exit polls done by The US firm Penn shown in Berlin had Chavez losing 41% to 59%." "But the next day, Chavez declared victory, reversing the score, saying he won 59% of the vote." "All these machines talk to a central computer and report on their results." "And in that mechanism, as they communicate with the center, the central machine can report anything." "The Chavez government gave Bizta, Smartmatic, and another company a $91,000,000 contract to run voting machines for the February."

A Venezuelan-owned firm may take over a US voting machine company, sparking concerns about democracy. Smartmatic, owned by Venezuelans, controls Sequoia, a major voting machine manufacturer. Critics fear foreign influence on US elections. Congress and watchdog groups demand an investigation into the sale. The Treasury Department's lack of transparency raises suspicions. Concerns about national security and the integrity of American elections are at the forefront. The need for clarity and accountability is emphasized.

Voting machines have been proven to be vulnerable to tampering and hacking. In 2018, electronic voting machines in Georgia and Texas deleted or switched votes. The biggest seller of voting machines even violated cybersecurity principles by installing remote access software, making them attractive to fraudsters and hackers. Three companies control the majority of voting machines in the US. Antiquated machines in many states are particularly vulnerable. Demonstrations have shown how easily these machines can be hacked, with workers switching votes. Approximately 43% of American voters use machines with serious security flaws. Aging systems rely on unsupported software, making them even more susceptible to cyberattacks. A hack in just one swing state or a few counties could significantly impact a close presidential election.

A report discusses the possibility that a firm owned by Venezuela could take over one of the United States’ top voting machine companies, sparking concerns that American democracy could be affected by Venezuelan interests. The report notes that Hugo Chávez’s Venezuela moved to the left and critics claim the deal puts democracy “for sale.” In Chicago, about 19,000 electronic voting machines were used in the city and Cook County’s primary on March 21, and the US company that makes the machines, Sequoia, had been bought in 2005 by Smartmatic, a private company primarily owned by Venezuelan businessmen. When Chicago encountered problems with the machines, a dozen Venezuelan employees were on hand to assist. Chicago officials expressed anger, with one stating that American elections ought to be run by American companies and American citizens, not Venezuelan nationals. Smartmatic is technically based in Boca Raton, Florida, but its president, Jack Blaine, testified to the Chicago City Council. Fewer than a dozen Smartmatic employees work in Florida; the majority are based in Venezuela. Watchdog groups question why US voting machines would be under the control of citizens of another country, particularly a country whose own election process is described as highly suspect. They view it as a national security issue, arguing that companies owned by non-US entities should not have access to US elections. The Treasury Department is expected to monitor sales of US companies to overseas investors where national security is a concern, such as in the Dubai ports deal. Some in Congress are demanding an investigation. Speaker 2 notes several unanswered questions about Smartmatic, including offshore ownership and murkiness, and says someone should know who owns it. They believe the government should know. There is concern about a potential risk to the democratic process. A request was made to the Secretary of the Treasury to review the ownership of Smartmatic/Sequoia; Treasury acknowledged awareness of the sale but could not confirm whether it had been reviewed. Some in Congress and voter watchdog groups urged a clearer explanation than what had been provided. There is criticism of the Treasury Department as allegedly incompetent, with claims that they have halted more than 1,500 reviews while not confirming whether the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States reviewed this voting-machine sale. The speakers express frustration at the lack of a clear answer, calling for action from officials, including possibly John Snow, and promising to continue pursuing the matter. Representatives and media figure Kitty are credited with advancing the inquiry and expressing appreciation for the congresswoman’s efforts, while urging White House involvement to provide an answer by Monday evening.

A Venezuelan-owned company, Smartmatic, bought the U.S. voting machine company Sequoia in 2005, raising concerns about the security of American elections. Smartmatic is based in Boca Raton, Florida, but most of its employees are in Venezuela. Critics question why a foreign-owned company, particularly from a country with a suspect election process, controls U.S. voting machines. Some in Congress are requesting a Treasury Department review of the sale, similar to the CFIUS review process used in the Dubai Ports deal. The Treasury Department acknowledged awareness of the sale but couldn't confirm if it had been reviewed. Some find the lack of a clear answer unacceptable. A congresswoman is investigating the situation.

Signed affidavits from cybersecurity experts suggest that Dominion Voting Machines and Edison Research used an unencrypted VPN, allowing foreign adversaries to access and manipulate votes. The IP addresses showed communication between these adversaries and Edison Research. Claims that Dominion machines were not connected to the internet are false. Dominion Voting Systems is registered to a Chinese company, and UBS Securities has three Chinese nationals on its board. Dominion's software is licensed from Venezuelan-owned Smartmatic. Forensic audits of the machines revealed significant errors. Left-leaning news sources previously highlighted the vulnerability of voting machines. Georgia recently signed a contract with Dominion, despite concerns. An audit in Michigan's Antrim County exposed high error and adjudication rates.

There are concerns about fraud with Dominion Voting Machines due to security vulnerabilities. In Georgia, people are fighting to remove them from elections. A computer scientist showed how easy it is to manipulate the machines in court. There are worries about internet connectivity and foreign access to the machines. Dominion is suing those who accused them of cheating in the 2020 election, but facing challenges in court. Emails suggest foreign nationals accessed US voting machines. Questions remain about the security and integrity of Dominion Voting Machines.

A firm primarily owned by Venezuelan businessmen, Smartmatic, bought the US company Sequoia, which makes electronic voting machines. Concerns arose because Smartmatic has ties to the Venezuelan government, including a $91 million contract and a government minister on the board of directors of a related company. Critics suggest the Venezuelan government could manipulate US elections. Smartmatic's structure involves international holding companies, and the US government didn't review the sale when Smartmatic bought Sequoia. Experts claim Smartmatic machines were used to manipulate Venezuelan elections, reversing exit poll results that favored Hugo Chavez's opponent. Smartmatic also built a production facility for electronic voting equipment hardware just outside Beijing, China, and then shipped the hardware to a warehouse in Taiwan. The hardware was marked as manufactured in Taiwan and shipped to both Smartmatic and Dominion for use in US elections. Dominion voting systems manages elections in almost all the swing states in The US, which determines who wins the presidency. Dominion moved its research and development and servers which store swing state voting information to its office in Belgrade, Serbia, where Venezuelan, Chinese, and Serbian software engineers maintain system administrative status over swing state elections. Three Smartmatic executives were indicted in Florida for bribery during the 2016 Philippines election, allegedly to alter election results. The Venezuelan mafia, with assistance from China and Iran, has been rigging elections in 72 nations.

A Venezuelan-owned company, Smartmatic, bought the U.S. voting machine company Sequoia in 2005, raising concerns about the security of American elections. Smartmatic is based in Boca Raton, Florida, but most of its employees are in Venezuela. Critics question why a foreign company, particularly from a country with a suspect election process, controls U.S. voting machines. Some in Congress are requesting a Treasury Department review of the sale, similar to the CFIUS process used for the Dubai Ports deal, but the Treasury Department can't confirm if a review occurred. A congresswoman contacted the Secretary of the Treasury requesting a review of the ownership. The ownership is offshore and murky, and no one seems to know who owns it. Some believe American elections ought to be run by American companies and American citizens, not Venezuelan nationals.

A report discusses a deal that could allow a Venezuela-owned firm to take over one of the United States’ top voting machine companies, as Hugo Chávez-led Venezuela shifts the region leftward. Critics claim this places democracy “for sale” without action. The focus centers on the Chicago and Cook County primary on March 21, which used about 19,000 electronic voting machines. The machines’ manufacturer, Sequoia, was bought in 2005 by Smartmatic, a private company primarily owned by Venezuelan businessmen. When Chicago experienced problems with the machines, a dozen Venezuelan employees were on hand to assist. Chicago officials argued that American elections should be run by American companies and American citizens, not Venezuelan nationals. Smartmatic is technically based in Boca Raton, Florida; however, the company’s president testified to the Chicago City Council. Fewer than a dozen Smartmatic employees work in Florida, while the majority of workers are based in Venezuela. Watchdog groups questioned why US voting machines would be under the control of citizens of another country, especially a country with a voting process deemed highly suspect. They framed the issue as a national security concern, arguing that companies owned by non-US nationals should not have access to US elections. The treasury department’s role in monitoring sales of US companies to overseas investors—where national security is a concern, similar to the Dubai ports deal and the CFIUS process—was highlighted. Some in Congress demanded an investigation. In Smartmatic’s case, questions remained regarding ownership, which led to a letter to the secretary of the treasury requesting a review of the ownership. The process is described as offshore and murky, with unclear ownership details. It was asserted that the government should have clarity on this matter. reporters attempted to verify whether the 2005 Sequoia sale had been reviewed by CFIUS. Treasury officials acknowledged awareness of the sale but could not confirm whether it had been reviewed. Congress members and voter watchdog groups pressed for a clearer answer and a formal review. The dialogue included strong criticisms of the Treasury Department, with speakers accusing it of incompetence for reportedly stopping over 1,500 reviews while failing to provide a clear answer about whether CFIUS reviewed the voting-machine sale. The discussion noted the need for accountability and information, including potential outreach to John Snow, then the Treasury secretary, to obtain a definitive explanation for the public. Ultimately, the speakers emphasized that the issue deserved examination and pledged to continue pursuing answers, praising a Congresswoman for her efforts and calling on the White House to provide an explanation by Monday evening. The conversation ended with a commitment to actively seek clarity.

The speaker is alarmed by events in the 2020 US presidential election, drawing parallels to the 2013 Venezuelan election where Smartmatic software allegedly changed votes. Vote counting abruptly stopped in five states using Dominion software while Donald Trump was ahead. During the night, vote reporting went offline, and when it resumed, there was a significant shift favoring Joe Biden. According to the speaker, votes in 27 or 28 states counted by Dominion are sent outside the US to Germany and Spain, where Smartmatic, a company founded in Venezuela in 2005 to fix elections, does the counting. Smartmatic has a history of election interference in Venezuela and Argentina, and allegedly botched an election in Chicago. The speaker claims Smartmatic stopped vote counting and subtly switched votes, around 10 per district, which was discovered in Antrim County.

Voting machines in the US are vulnerable to hacking and manipulation, according to researchers. These machines, which come in various models, have been found to have security vulnerabilities that allow attackers to inject malicious software and change election data. The machines can be hacked through the machine used to program them, and many of them have wireless modems that can connect to the internet, despite claims that they are not connected. The vulnerabilities in the voting machines, along with the lack of secure systems for voter registration and result reporting, pose a significant risk to the integrity of elections. It is crucial to address these vulnerabilities to ensure the trustworthiness of election results.

A firm owned by Venezuela could be allowed to take over one of the country's top voting machine firms. The US company that makes the machine, Sequoia, was bought in 2005 by Smartmatic, a private company primarily owned by Venezuelan businessmen. When Chicago had problems with the machines, a dozen Venezuelan employees were there to help with the election. Smartmatic is technically based in Boca Raton, Florida, but the majority of the workers are based in Venezuela. Watchdog groups question why US voting machines would be under the control of citizens of another country, especially a country whose own election process is highly suspect, calling it a national security issue. Some in congress are demanding an investigation into Smartmatic's ownership, which is offshore and murky. The Treasury Department is supposed to monitor sales of US companies to overseas investors where there is a question of national security, but can't confirm if the sale of Sequoia in 2005 had been reviewed or not.

New evidence shows Venezuelan businessmen bought a US voting machine company critical to elections without government review. Smartmatic, owned by Venezuelan businessmen, supplies voting machines in the US. Concerns arise about the ownership of Smartmatic and its ties to Venezuela. Questions about election integrity and potential fraud during the 2020 elections are raised. Calls for a full review of Smartmatic's ownership and transparency in elections technology. The chairman of Smartmatic is Lord Mark Malloch Brown, a British diplomat with ties to George Soros. Allegations of irregularities in elections and the need for accountability are highlighted.

The speaker suggests that the Venezuelan election results were manipulated in favor of the government due to the programming of the astromatic machines. A Harvard mathematician analyzed the numbers and concluded that the smart mathematic system must have been involved. The machines communicate with a central machine that can report any information. Although Smartmatic is technically based in Boca Raton, Florida, the company's president testified that only a few employees work there, while the majority are based in Venezuela.

Antonio Mojica and Alfredo Anzola received a small business loan from the Venezuelan government before the recall election. They started a company called Vista, which adapted voting software for Smartmatic machines used in the 2004 elections. The Venezuelan government owned 28% of Vista's stock, and a government minister was on the board of directors. Smartmatic, primarily owned by Venezuelan businessmen, later bought Sequoia, a top US electronic voting system company. Experts believe that Smartmatic manipulated voting machines in Venezuela to give President Hugo Chavez a victory. Smartmatic is based in Florida, but most of its employees are in Venezuela. The use of Smartmatic's machines in the Chicago and Cook County primary elections raised concerns about foreign influence in US elections.

Antonio Mujica and his partner Alfredo Enzola received a small business loan from the Venezuelan government just months before the recall election. Venezuelan corporate registration documents show the government owned 28% of the stock of Bizta, a company they started that adapted voting software for the Smartmatic machines in the 2004 elections. The same document shows Chavez government minister Omar Montillo was on Bizta’s board of directors. The Chavez government gave Bizta, Smartmatic, and another company a $91,000,000 contract to run voting machines for the February election. The next year, the owners of Smartmatic, primarily Venezuelan businessmen, bought Sequoia, one of the top electronic voting system companies in the United States, for $16,000,000. Smartmatic is a labyrinth international holding company structure. Smartmatic Group NV of Curacao Netherlands Antilles owns Smartmatic International BV of Amsterdam, which owns Smartmatic Corporation of Florida, which bought Sequoia Voting Systems of California, USA. When Smartmatic bought the US voting machine companies, the US government did not review the sale. Many experts say those voting machines were manipulated in Venezuela to give president Hugo Chavez a victory. Polls done by The US firm Penn shown in Berlin had Chavez losing 41% to 59%. But the next day, Chavez declared victory, reversing the score, saying he won 59% of the vote. “Everything was computed in the favor of the government.” So the only explanation is that the smart mathematic machines had been programmed in that way. A mathematician crunched the numbers on the Venezuelan election. “All these machines talk to a central computer and report on their results. And in that mechanism, as they communicate with the center, the central machine can report anything.” Smartmatic is technically based in Boca Raton, Florida. But the president of the company, Jack Blaine, testified to the Chicago City Council. Fewer than a dozen Smartmatic employees work in Florida. The majority of the workers are based in Venezuela.

Dominion, a key player in vote tabulation, received a $400 million investment from Credit Suisse, a Chinese bank, just weeks before the election. Another company, Seidel, which recently declared bankruptcy, had its assets acquired by a new entity with ties to George Soros and Venezuela. Additionally, Kamala Harris' husband is linked to one of these companies. The software used for elections originates from Hugo Chavez's Venezuela, while the machinery and tabulation services are connected to Venezuelan and Chinese interests. This raises concerns about foreign influence in the election process, suggesting a potential manipulation of our electoral system.

Voting in America is conducted by private companies contracted by the county. However, there are no national security standards for these companies, making it easy to change votes without leaving a trace. Additionally, the votes from Texas and 28 other states are sent to a server in Frankfurt, Germany, owned by a multinational company based in Barcelona, Spain, which controls and reports the votes.

Smartmatic built a production facility in China and shipped hardware marked as Taiwanese to Smartmatic and Dominion, violating US law. Dominion manages elections in almost all US swing states. Evidence suggests the Venezuelan regime owns the source code used in Smartmatic and Dominion machines, which are manufactured in China. Dominion moved its R&D and servers with swing state voting information to Belgrade, Serbia, where Venezuelan, Chinese, and Serbian engineers alter elections as directed by foreign entities. Voter information is stored on Huawei servers linked to Hong Kong. CISA consulted Smartmatic and Dominion regarding election irregularities. Smartmatic executives were indicted in Florida for bribery related to altering election results in the Philippines. The CNE source code can prove election alterations. The FBI allegedly tried to obstruct investigations. Smartmatic was created at the direction of Hugo Chavez, and its source code was designed to alter election results. The Venezuelan CNE owns Smartmatic's source code. Smartmatic entered the US market and orchestrated Dominion's purchase of Sequoia, inheriting the Smartmatic source code. Smartmatic publicly broke with the Venezuelan regime in 2018. Dominion and Smartmatic's actions are controlled by the Cartel del Sol, the Cuban DGI, and the Chinese CCP.

The cartel, mafia, and Hugo Chavez recognized an "edge" in election machinery. Smartmatic bought Sequoia, injecting intellectual property, and Diebold's hardware was also involved. Dominion, Heart IntraCivic, and ES and S use Smartmatic's intellectual property via Sequoia and Diebold hardware. Dominion's Democracy Suite 5.5 is Smartmatic software rewritten in C#. This originated from Venezuela's National Election Commission under Chavez and Fidel Castro. Through acquisitions and licensing, this became the core of major election systems globally. Smartmatic has a factory in Taiwan assembling computers with components from mainland China, controlled by Xi Jinping. Smartmatic allegedly lies about its supply chain, with Iran acting as paymaster, using oil transfer pricing to bypass banking systems. Jorge Rodriguez implied Venezuela rigged elections in the US, Europe, and South America, threatening to expose this if pressured. During a vote by the Organization of American States, some South American countries abstained.
