You're fucked in the head, con. Dominion has nothing to do with Smartmatic. Nothing from Smartmatic was used in any of the battleground states.Now he's claiming Maduro and Chavez are manipulating our voting machines. Rudy is even more nuts than I thought.
Look up the origins of Smartmatic.. The S/Ware that is a third party add-on to activate the "weighted voting" feature in Dominion machines..
I'll give ya a start here.. Y'all are looking as stupid as Russia Russia Russia if you don't actually look into the facts. You TDS'ers have been hit by ENOUGH oncoming freight trains in the past 4 years..

Founding
In 1997,[4] three engineers, Antonio Mugica, Alfredo José Anzola and Roger Piñate, began collaborating in a group while working at Panagroup Corp. in Caracas, Venezuela.[5][6][7][8][9] Following the 2000 United States presidential election and its hanging chad controversy in Florida, the group proposed to dedicate a system toward electoral functions.[9][10] Smartmatic was officially incorporated on 11 April 2000 in Delaware by Alfredo José Anzola.[11][12][13] Smartmatic then established its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida with seven employees.[7][8] After receiving funds from private investors,[7] the company then began to expand.
Ownership
Following the 2004 Venezuelan recall election, Smartmatic acquired Sequoia Voting Systems, one of the leading US companies in automated voting products[99][100] from the British company De La Rue in 2005.[90] Following this acquisition, U.S. Representative Carolyn B. Maloney requested an investigation to determine whether the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) had followed correct processes to green-light sale of Sequoia to Smartmatic, which was described as having "possible ties to the Venezuelan government".[101] The request was made after a March 2006 following issues in Chicago and Cook County, where a percentage of the machines involved were manufactured by Sequoia, and Sequoia provided technical assistance, some by a number of Venezuelan nationals flown in for the event.[102] According to Sequoia, the tabulation problems were due to human error, as a post-election check identified only three mechanical problems in 1,000 machines checked[102] while election officials blamed poor training.[103] Other issues were suspected to be related to software errors linked to the voting system's central computer.[104]
Following the request, Smartmatic and Sequoia submitted a request to be reviewed by the CFIUS while also denying links to the Venezuelan government.[105] The company disclosed that it was owned by Antonio Mugica (78.8%), Alfredo Anzola (3.87%), Roger Pinate (8.47%), Jorge Massa Dustou (5.97%) and employees (2.89%).[106] Smartmatic subsequently sold Sequoia and later withdrew from Cook County in December 2006.[107]
No interest in crawling down some rabbit hole with you. If you have a legitimate claim, it will be exposed in court. If not, it will be enshrined in the right's unified field of conspiracies to be repeated by Alex Jones and Hannity forever, along with all your other batshit crazy claims.
so lemme get this straight. Forget Guilliani and his hair dye.. You have NO CONCERNS WHATSOEVER about voting machines that are DESIGNED to "weight elections" as a feature. To go back to the 3/5ths of a person slave clause in the Constitution or in this case maybe 3/5ths of a vote.
And you have NO CONCERN about a Venuzelan company offering a 3rd party S/Ware package to ACTIVATE that feature on Dominion and maybe other machines??
What happened to assuring there's no foreign interference in elections? Didn't happen this time, but given that flaw in the system it could NEXT time.. What happened to the Democrat concern about Dominion when Pochahontas Warren and 2 other senators wrote a letter to Dominion in 2019 about issues with ttheir equip. in the 2018 elections -- INCLUDING VOTE SHIFTING...
Were Warren and Klobucher and the other guy CONSPIRACY NUTS BACK THEN?????
I hate you folks.. You have no consistent principles or positions.. Just spur of moment hypocrisy..
Trump lost.
Deal with it.
