Ojo, que la sospecha de fraude sobre la empresa Smartmatic no es un bulo sin evidencias de los fanáticos tramperos.
Es voxpopuli en la inteligencia useña desde hace más de 15 años.
Smartmatic es una empresa propiedad de los bolivarianos a través de varias sociedades pantalla en Barbados y Países Bajos. Y según el cale son responsables del fraude electoral en Venezuela que dio la victoria a Chavez.

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. The electronic voting company went from a small
technology startup to a market player in just a few years,
catapulted by its participation in the August 2004 recall
referendum.
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.
The Smartmatic machines used in Venezuela are widely suspected of,
though never proven conclusively to be, susceptible to fraud. The
company is thought to be backing out of Venezuelan electoral
events, focusing now on other parts of world, including the
United States via its subsidiary, Sequoia. End Summary.
Smartmatic was founded in the late 90s by three
Venezuelans, Antonio Mugica, Alberto Anzola, and Roger
Pinate. According to Mugica's conversations with poloffs in
recent years, the three had developed a network capable of
handling thousands of simultaneous inputs. An early
application was ATMs in Mexico, but the U.S. presidential
election in 2000 led the group to consider electronic voting
platforms. The company formed the SBC consortium with
Venezuelan telecom provider CANTV (at the time 28-percent
owned by Verizon) and a software company called Bizta.
Mugica said Smartmatic held 51-percent of the consortium,
CANTV had 47 percent, and Bizta, 2 percent (ref a). The
latter, also owned by the Smartmatic owners, was denounced in
June 2004 by the press for having received a US$200,000
equity investment from a Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
(BRV) joint venture fund called FONCREI; a Chavez campaign
adviser was placed on the board as well.
Bizta reimbursed what it called the "loan" when it was made public and shed
the Chavista board member.
A Shadow of Fraud -----------------
6. (C) Of course, the Venezuelan opposition is convinced that
the Smartmatic machines robbed them of victory
in the August 2004 referendum.
Since then, there have been at least eight statistical
analyses performed on the referendum results. Most of the studies
cross-check the results with those of exit polls, the signature drives
and previous election results. One study obtained the data log from
the CANTV network and supposedly proved that the Smartmatic machines
were bi-directional and in fact showed irregularities in how they
reported their results to the CNE central server during the referendum.
(Note: The most suspicious data point in the Smartmatic system was
that the machines contacted the server before printing their results,
providing the opportunity, at least, to change the results and defeat
the rudimentary checks set up by international observation missions.
Since August 2004, the CNE has not repeated this practice.) These
somewhat conspiratorial reports perhaps serve to breathe life into a
defeated opposition, but have never proved conclusively the fraud
(refs b and c).
