  the Epoch Times spoke with an intelligence source knowledgeable on Venezuela and its criminal activities, a former CIA official who is an expert in Latin American politics and counterterrorism and a former director of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council who was fired for exposing election fraud in the country.  Two of the sources requested anonymity so they could speak freely on the matter.

  At the center of all of this is Dominion’s voting technology, which is currently used in 28 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, according to the firm’s official website. More than 40 percent of American voters cast their ballots through the Dominion system in general elections, including 65 of Michigan’s 83 counties, all 159 counties in Georgia, and 2.2 million voters in Maricopa, Arizona’s largest county, among others.                                                                            Smartmatic was officially incorporated in Delaware in April 2000 and headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida.  In April 2003 the company unveiled a prototype election automation machine.  It was developed in-house and included the integration of hardware and software from design to deployment.  The company moved its main headquarters to Amsterdam in 2004 and then London in 2012.

  Although a little-known company at the time, Smartmatic was chosen by Venezuela’s regime for a 2004 referendum that socialist leader Hugo Chávez would win. It was also used in subsequent elections.  Prior to that, Smartmatic was part of a consortium that included a software company partly owned by a Venezuelan government agency.  At the time there was a wide array of allegations of fraud in the referendum by media organizations and observers.  Smartmatic allegedly has 30 anonymous investors and silent partners who are mainly upper-class Venezuelans, including defense minister Jose Vicente Rangel and Chávez mentor Luis Miquelina and others, according to a July 20, 2006, State Department diplomatic cable that was leaked to Wikileaks.

  Díaz noted other parallels and similarities between issues in this year’s election and what she saw in Venezuela.  Many American poll watchers and challengers have submitted sworn affidavits saying they couldn’t see the actual ballots being counted, due to obstruction.  She said in Venezuela, “observers were also not allowed to see the votes.  In Venezuela, the opposition was winning, the light went off, and when it came back, the results were flipped.  I was following the U.S. election and there came a moment where information stopped … nobody knew what had happened,” she said.  According to Díaz, Venezuela is exporting its voting machines to other Latin and Asian countries so they can influence elections across the globe.  The U.S. government has repeatedly sanctioned officials of Maduro’s regime who were involved in public corruption or undermining democracy.

  “At midnight on Election Day, the machine stopped counting,” the official said, noting that Chávez was losing at that point.  “By 3 a.m. Chavez had won by 10 percent,” said an ex-CIA official who investigated Venezuela.   Smartmatic spokesperson Samira Saba said that results aren’t available in real time.   Some Smartmatic employees later joined Dominion Voting Systems, which was founded in Toronto, in 2002 and also has offices in the United States and Serbia.  In 2010, Eric Coomer, former Smartmatic vice president of engineering, joined Dominion.  (Cooler protests his innocence.)…

  A number of Venezuelan individuals who worked for Sequoia also allegedly worked for Smartmatic and Dominion and had become contractors for each of the companies.  “They are moving around in there,” an intelligence source knowledgeable on Venezuela and its alleged criminal activities told the Epoch Times.

  John R. Mills, former director of cybersecurity policy, strategy and international affairs at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, told The Epoch Times:  “There is this interesting intersection with legacy software or firmware developers in Venezuela and the current slate of voting machines including Dominion.  “Venezuela has a solid footprint of Chinese, Russian and Iranian activities for influence operations in the Americas.   For these to not have an intersection would be odd.”

  Smartmatic spokesman Saba said in an email to another reporter:  “There are no ties between Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic–plain and simple.  No ownership ties, no software leasing, no business at all between them.”  https://epochtimes.today/troubling-foreign-ties-behind-voting-machines-used-in-us/
