"Smartmatic has claimed to be of U.S. origin, but
its true owners -- probably elite Venezuelans of several
political strains -- remain hidden behind a web of holding
companies in the Netherlands and Barbados."

3. (C) 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.

1. (C) The Venezuelan-owned Smartmatic Corporation is a
riddle both in ownership and operation, complicated by the
fact that its machines have overseen several landslide (and
contested) victories by President Hugo Chavez and his
supporters.

Smartmatic
won the contract, which totaled at least US$128 million,
including the delivery of 20,000 touch-screen voting machines
(re-engineered lottery machines) yet to be built.

There were
immediate questions about how a virtually unknown company
with no electoral experience could have landed such a large
contract

The company came out of
nowhere to snatch a multli-million dollar contract in an
electoral process that ultimately reaffirmed Chavez' mandate
and all-but destroyed his political opposition.

Every single elected official in every single state and precinct that signed off on this disastrous decision should be held liable in court and jailed. Our States have failed us.

Max may laugh, but it looks like @RudyGiuliani has his shit together. Lets hope we get an honest judge.
