Antonio Mugica is the Venezuelan Communist who teamed up with Soros right hand thug Mark Malloch-Brown to push Smartmatic into US voting systems.

But it’s all just our imagination that these foreigners who have been up to their necks in Socialist takeovers all over the planet might be responsible for massive election fraud in the US.

You know, we’re xenophobes, racist, etc etc.

“Smartmatic Got Its Start With Grant Money, Contracts From The Chavist Venezuelan Government
After receiving seed funding to focus on election technologies from Jorge Massa Dustou, one of the richest individuals in Venezuela, three Venezuelan software engineers incorporated Smartmatic in Delaware and Bizta (Spanish for “Great”) in Venezuela in April 2000.
By 2003 the software firm was struggling to make any sales, and it was at that time that Bizta received a $150,000 grant from the Venezuelan government in exchange for a 28 percent equity stake in the company and a seat on the board. Part of the arrangement involved Smartmatic acquiring Bizta.
One of Smartmatic’s principles has stated that the grant was a loan, that has been repaid in full, and that the Venezuelan government never sent a representative to board meetings. The loan was repaid a month before Venezuela’s 2004 elections after the Venezuelan government’s close ties to the voting systems company came under public scrutiny.
Smartmatic Was Investigated in 2006 by The Intra-Agency Committee on Foreign Investment in The United States
With $120 million dollars from three different contracts with the Venezuelan government, Smartmatic rapidly expanded the following year, purchasing British-owned, Oakland, California-based Sequoia Voting Systems in 2005, which had supplied voting machines in 17 states and the District of Columbia.
The acquisition triggered a 2006 investigation by the intra-agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to determine the extent to which the Venezuelan government was involved in Smartmatic’s operations. Representatives of the company and the Venezuelan government vehemently denied any relationship outside of contracting Smartmatic to provide Venezuela with voting systems.
Smartmatic cooperated with the investigation at first, stating that public transparency has always been its policy, but before the investigation could be completed, Smartmatic sold Sequoia later that year without fully disclosing who is involved in the ownership and management of the company.

“This is the first in a series of steps we are taking to defend our company against baseless attacks that are intended to damage our reputation as a means to undermine confidence in election outcomes,” Smartmatic CEO Antonio Mugica said in a statement to CNBC.

“We stand to lose billions of dollars in business in the coming years because of these baseless attacks on our company,” Mugica’s statement said.

I would be more worried about loosing your live due to treason than loosing money if I were you Antonio. Your machines are already proven to be vote stealing pieces of sh!t!

EVEN IF these machines were certified accurate to NASA-grade; the fact that Coomer updated the firmware shortly before the election(s) automatically de-certified it/them.

Good grief...

Absolutely. In fact, why don’t we have a class action suit against them?

OHHHH, that’s TOO funny.

Bu seriously, are they going to try to continue to play Fox as “conservative”? I mean, I know at the very best they can pretend to be at this point (post treason) is “controlled opposition,” but....trying to pretend they are ‘right wing’...seriously??

Sue me, Smartmatic CEO Antonio Mugica, you fraud, you Chinese payoff soyboy mandarin flunkie.

You graduated from Simón Bolívar University? LOFL. The Simon Bolivar who died coughing his brains out from TB? The Simon Bolivar who died saying, "America is ungovernable.".

Bring your worst, you pendejo douchebag. I'll parade your code in front of an American jury and you'll be taken into custody.
