Okay, I have about 5 threads on Smartmatic going, which I posted as I stumbled across new info. If only for my own sanity, I am putting everything here. PLEASE ADD ANYTHING YOU HAVE FOUND:

1. The Wikileaks Brief, dated 7/10/2016: https://wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/06CARACAS2063_a.html

Highlights include, but are certainly NOT limited to:

• Smartmatic was founded in the late 90s by three Venezuelans, Antonio Mugica, Alberto Anzola, and Roger Pinate.

• Its machines have overseen several landslide (and contested) victories by President Hugo Chavez and his supporters.

• Mugica has told Poloffs on several occasions that Anzola, Pinate, and he are the owners of Smartmatic, though they have a list of about 30 investors who remain anonymous. Jose Antonio Herrera, Anzola's father-in-law (and first cousin to Venezuelan Ambassador to the United States Bernardo Alvarez), told poloff in 2004 the silent partners were mainly upper class Venezuelans, some of whom were staunch Chavez opponents. There were rumors, however, that Smartmatic's early profits came from Venezuelan defense contracts supplied by then-Defense Minister Jose Vicente Rangel, whom Chavez later promoted to Vice President. Perhaps coincidentally, the Vice President's daughter, Gisela Rangel Avalos, was the head of the local corporate registry when Smartmatic was registered, which contributed to allegations of the Vice President's involvement. Theseunconfirmed rumors also suggested that one-time Chavez political mentor Luis Miquilena was also a shareholder in the company.

• In fact, poloffs had several discussions with Mugica in the course of facilitating his L-1 inter-company transfer visa to work in the United States. Mugica said the company's corporate offices were in Boca Raton, but most of the research staff of some 70 employees remained in Caracas. Smartmatic essentially purchased its electoral expertise by hiring veteran election observer AMCIT Jorge Tirado and his team of consultants. Tirado served as the interface between Smartmatic and the CNE for several elections.

• Smartmatic acquired the U.S voting machine company SEQUOIA VOTING SYSTEMS on March 8, 2005, Mugica reported. All U.S. election machinery is assembled in New York, he said. Mugica noted that while their U.S. operations were important, more than half their sales were outside of Venezuela and the United States. The other Smartmatic company was based in Bridgetown, Barbados, where Mugica said the international sales operation was located. Most of the manufacturing for their electoral and other electronic machinery was done in China, Mugica said, with some component work also done in Taiwan. Smartmatic also manufactures some items in Italy through the company Olivetti (which built the original Smartmatic machines for Venezuela). The research and development shop was still located in Caracas, Mugica noted.

• The company is de facto Venezuelan and operated by Venezuelans. The identity of Smartmatic's true owners remains a mystery. Our best guess is that there are probably several well-known Venezuelan businessmen backing the company who prefer anonymity either because of their political affiliation or, perhaps, because they manage the interests of senior Venezuelan government officials.

2. SEQUOIA VOTING SYSTEMS:

Smartmatic purchased Sequoia Voting Systems in 2005, which set off a whole bunch of US internal, international audit bells and whistles:

Who did they sell it to?

DOMINION.

And guess who came along with the deal...

3. Frederico Arneo, Venezuelan software engineer and Smartmatic developer:

He has Smartmatic's Venezuelan office on his resume.

His name is now all over Dominion patent filings:

4. As for "founders" Antonio and Roger, their Venezuelan origins and loyalty are indisputable:

They founded and run the company. Even this fact-check article admits they built and run it: https://www.smartmatic.com/us/smartmatic-fact-checked/

Let's look into Antonio a bit:

This link tells us that Antonio also runs a separate company called "Tecnologia Smartmatic de Venezuela C.A."

Wait, that's the Smartmatic Venezuelan Home Office.

Company description from this link:

Tecnologia Smartmatic de Venezuela C.A. is located in CARACAS, DISTRITO FEDERAL, Venezuela and is part of the Computer & Office Equipment Wholesalers Industry. Tecnologia Smartmatic de Venezuela C.A. has 140 total employees across all of its locations and generates $11.68 million in sales (USD). There are 21 companies in the Tecnologia Smartmatic de Venezuela C.A. corporate family.

Oh, Goody...21 shell companies to sort through.

Now for his partner, Roger:

Roger has a degree in Electronic Engineering from the Simon Bolívar University: https://www.crunchbase.com/person/roger-piñate-2

Guess where Simon Bolivar University is. Go ahead, guess.;

For ANYONE to argue that Smartmatic is not a Venezuelan company, one which has thrown elections for communist despots, no less, is utterly rediculous.

Venezuela literally threw the 2020 election to Biden.
