After a month of deadly protests against his regime, Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro calls for the election of a constituent assembly to draw up a new constitution that would maintain him and his inner circle in control of the government. The election is to be held July 30, with Smartmatic running the voting process.

1. Would Maduro’s declaration put Smartmatic in a political bind, now that it has become a global company preaching “trust” and “transparency”?
2. Would there have been any possibility of the July vote being clean and transparent, or close enough so that Smartmatic could take credit for a secure and flawless voting process regardless of the results?
3. Would Maduro’s move require Smartmatic to distance itself from the regime, at least in public?
