Venezuela Reported False Election Turnout, Voting Company Says (Published 2017)
The vote over the weekend was part of a government plan to consolidate power. But the turnout was altered by at least one million votes, the company says.www.nytimes.com
I imagine over the years the people in Venezuela claiming election fraud were called crazy, liars, moron’s, conspiracy theorists, enemies of the government, extremists etc. And now thanks to the Marxists who took over their country (thru election fraud), most of the country is starving and in disarray.
Where did I say that they did? But Smartmatic, Sequoia, and Dominion have all been interlinked over the years.LOL. Smartmatic machines were not used in any swing state in the 2020 election. They were only used in Los Angeles.
But carry on with your nonsense.
Where did I say that they did? But Smartmatic, Sequoia, and Dominion have all been interlinked over the years.
Key conclusion/question #3: why did Smartmatic reorganize from a transparent structure with a head office in Florida to an opaque structure with holding companies and trusts in the Netherlands and Barbados?
In November 2007 CFIUS issued a ruling ordering Smartmatic to sell all of its shares in Sequoia Voting Systems in exchange for CFIUS dropping its investigation of Smartmatic. But what followed was far from what one might expect. Following a ruling by the CFIUS, Smartmatic was ordered to sell to Sequoia’s management team- SVS Holdings Inc, (Sequoia Holdings). However, Smartmatic still retained some financial control over several aspects of Sequoia, ownership of the intellectual property rights of some of Sequoia’s election products deployed in the U.S., and the right to negotiate for overseas business.
It was only in April 2008 that these arrangements were revealed when Hart InterCivic, a competitor of Sequoia, attempted a “hostile takeover” of Sequoia Holdings. Through the discovery process made possible by the purchase offer it became evident that Smartmatic had not fully divested itself of Sequoia Holdings. The purchase contract showed several elements of permanent control over Sequoia Holdings.
“The secrecy regarding CFIUS investigations is legendary: CFIUS was previously not allowed to tell Congress of the results–or even existence–of security reviews.” [1]
- Smartmatic still retained some financial control of Sequoia Holdings.
- Smartmatic also retained ownership of intellectual property rights for some of Sequoia’s currently deployed election products in the United States.
- Sequoia Holdings reserved the right to negotiate non-compete contracts overseas.
However, these arrangements were allegedly made with the review and approval of CFIUS. Sequoia Holdings faces substantial legal liability for infringement of intellectual property rights and repeated voting system failures.
Key conclusion/question #4: why did Smartmatic retain this control over finances, intellectual property, and non-compete clauses, and why did CFIUS approve this arrangement?
At the end of April 2008, a shocking event occurred: one of Smartmatic’s founders, who was also the founder of the American company, died in a plane crash in Venezuela, along with Smartmatic’s finance department and the plane’s pilot. The Venezuelan Minister of the Interior (said to be a relative of the founder) was the first to arrive at the hospital, along with Jorge Rodriguez, former President of the Venezuelan Electoral Council and former Vice President of Venezuela.
Sequoia Holdings orchestrated a turnaround in 2010 with the acquisition by Dominion Voting System. On June 4, 2010, Dominion Voting Systems, a previously little-known Canadian company which engaged in the manufacture of electronic voting hardware and optical scanners, acquired Sequoia Voting Systems Inc. Sequoia filed a bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in February 2014.”
In May 2010, Dominion acquired Premier Election Solutions from Election System & Software; and in June 2010, acquired Sequoia Holdings, which at the time had multiple voting systems controlled by Smartmatic in 16 states and 300 jurisdictions of the U.S. As a result, Dominion grew rapidly and achieved the second largest market share for a voting system in the United States.
If this is true, it will all come out at the trial. Oddly, Smartmatic isn't too worried about the discovery process. Maybe it's because they don't have anything to hide? Surely you'll be the first to run back to the board and apologize about this dis-information when it's revealed, amirite?

That's what is making me laugh. Dominion and Smartmatic are suing the shit out of people for making these claims and statements. They are doing the opposite of someone who has something to hide.
Funny how OAN and Newsmax real quickly started walking back crap they had spewed when they were threatened with legal action.
But you better believe that the morons on the far right have claimed this "fraud" as a tennet of their claims and they are not backing down. It doesn't matter what comes out in court, it's all "Deep State" "leftist" etc conspiracy.
If this is true, it will all come out at the trial. Oddly, Smartmatic isn't too worried about the discovery process. Maybe it's because they don't have anything to hide? Surely you'll be the first to run back to the board and apologize about this dis-information when it's revealed, amirite?
Go visit Venezuela guys.. no actually you don’t have to, Venezuela is coming to the US in a couple years. Surely you guys will be the first to run back to the board and apologize for backing the government that caused it to happen.LOL. LOL. Amazing that back in 2007 these bad faith actors were already planning on thwarting the 2020 reelection of one the most unpopular presidents in american history.
