1. Why is Smartmatic celebrating and taking pride in the results of the 2015 Venezuelan parliamentary elections, the first and only elections with unfavorable results for the Chavista regime in more than 10 years?

2. Is Smartmatic trying to mitigate rumors and criticism for its alleged ties with the Venezuelan government and the fraudulent election results that have characterized the Chavista regime over the years, most of them provided by Smartmatic?
