In addition to the CFIUS probe, “Federal investigators are looking into whether Smartmatic Corp., a voting-machine company whose equipment is used widely in the U.S. and abroad, paid bribes to win a Venezuela election contract in 2004,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who prompted the CFIUS investigation, notes the investigation in a news release:
“No matter what, the public should be alerted when this case is put to bed and informed about how it was resolved. This is especially true in light of the news that Smartmatic is also the subject of a separate government investigation related to bribery and tax fraud charges. I hope Smartmatic will release the results voluntarily, and if it doesn’t, I hope the Treasury will prod them to do it.”

1. Given the many serious allegations of bribery, fraud, tax evasion, tampering with election results, ties to the Venezuelan regime and its allies, death threats, and more, should reasonable people accept that a company with such baggage should be entrusted to run elections in the United States?
2. Was this case resolved?
3. Did the Treasury or any security authority prod Smartmatic to open the software source code and disclose the real owners of the company?
