Black Lives Matter founder Opal Tometi was selected as an observer for Venezuela’s Smartmatic-conducted 2015 election on behalf of an organization that played a critical role in the country’s adoption of Smartmatic systems, The National Pulse can reveal.
Tometi observed on behalf of the Consejo Nacional Electoral (National Electoral Council), helping oversee the country’s parliamentary elections in 2015.
The Venezuela election was one of many conducted with Smartmatic machines, as the country has depended on the voting company for over a decade despite errors and tampered results.
In the Tometi-observed election, Smartmatic boasted involvement with virtually every aspect of the election, noting “our end-to-end solution automated every step of the process, from voter authentication, vote casting and results publication.”
“Before, during and after the election, technicians from the electoral authority and political parties conducted thorough audits and tests to validate the proper operation of the system,” the company’s 2015 election summary reported.
Tweets from Tometi appear to corroborate her involvement in the vote authentication process, noting how she “observed polling sites” and “witnessed [the] citizen verification process.”
Of the 13 audits conducted by Smartmatic, at least one involved the CNE, the “citizen verification, phase II,” where “technicians from the NEC and the political parties verified that the choices registered in the printed voting vouchers matched the statements of the vote and the data held in the National Tallying Centre.”
Smartmatic used quotes from CNE’s chief rector to hype the company in its promotional material:

A premeditated plan to influence the election. Dare we say, collusion?
