History and Timeline of Dominion Voting Systems
2000
Smartmatic was founded in 2000 by three Venezuelan engineers, Antonio Mugica,
Alfredo José Anzola and Roger Piñate, to rig election results in favor of Venezuelan
dictator Hugo Chavez, according to an affidavit of a former high-ranking Venezuelan
military official who was present at the founding of the companyiv Smartmatic was
officially incorporated in Delaware in 2000 by Alfredo Jose Anzola.v Later that year,
Smartmatic located its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, after receiving funds from
private investors.vi The company was then contracted to automate the electoral
processes for the 2004 Venezuelan election. Since 2004, Smartmatic software has been
used in local and national elections in Africa, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile,
Ecuador, Italy Mexico, the Philippines, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United
States, and Venezuela.
2002
Dominion Voting Systems, a Canadian company that sells electronic voting hardware
and software, was founded by John Poulos in 2002. It was originally headquartered in
Denver, Colorado. The company provides election technology to countries globally,
including the U.S., Canada, and Venezuela.vii The company uses Smartmatic software,
and sends all of its vote tabulation data to Smartmatic during elections, according to the
high-ranking Venezuelan military official’s affidavit.

2004
By 2004, Smartmatic expanded, with offices in Venezuela, London, Florida, and
California. Smartmatic also had acquired Bizta, 28% owned by the Venezuelan
government, which Smartmatic also had a large stake in.ix Bizta is also operated the
owners of Smartmatic, Antonio Mugica and Alfredo Anzola.

During the 2004 Venezuelan election, Bizta and Smartmatic partnered with CANTV, a
state-run Venezuelan telecommunications company,xi to win a $91 million contract to
supply electronic voting machines for the upcoming election.xii Prior to this, Smartmatic
was a “little-known firm” with no experience in voting technology before it was chosen
by Venezuelan government officials to replace elections machinery prior to the
controversial August 2004 election. xiii Smartmatic, to date, denies any sort of link to the
Chavez regime.xiv
2005
In 2005, Smartmatic purchased Sequoia Voting Systems, which is based in the U.S.,
but is owned by Venezuelan nationals.xv
2006
Sequoia provided technical assistance in the elections held in Chicago and Cook County
by sending a number of Venezuelan nationals to support the machines manufactured by
Sequoia.xvi In April of 2006, a Carnegie Mellon University computer science professor
tested the Sequoia machines, and found that the machines could be easily manipulated
and tampered with. This prompted Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County to turn down the
purchasing of these voting machines.xvii
In May of 2006, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) wrote a letter to the
Treasury Departmentxviii raising concerns about Venezuelan state-owned Smartmatic’s
purchase of Sequoia voting machines, which provides election machinery throughout
the United States. She also cites Antonio Mugica and Alfredo Anzola who own
Smartmatic, also own and operate Bizta, which is partially owned by the Venezuelan
government.xix This sparked an investigation conducted by the U.S. Committee on
Foreign Investment in the U.S. (CFIUS) on Smartmatic’s takeover of Sequoia, due to
speculations of being linked to the regime of Hugo Chavez.xx Smartmatic quickly sold
Sequoia, and the investigation ended.xxi
2010
Canadian company, Dominion Voting Systems, purchased the assets of Sequoia Voting
Systems in 2010, a subsidiary of Smartmatic up until the CFIUS investigation in
2006.xxii
2013
Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic contracted in both 2010 and 2013 to provide
electronic voting machinery and software for the Philippines elections, where claims of
fraud, technology glitches, and malfunctions abounded.xxiii
2014
In 2014, Dominion Voting Systems agreed to provide “emerging” and “post-conflict”
democracies with donated voting technologies through the DELIAN project, which the
Clinton Foundation provided up to $2.25 million in funding to.xxiv The DELIAN project
is a non-governmental organization registered in Canada that was launched in 2014.
Through this project, Dominion Voting Systems technology was donated to Barbados,
Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, and South Africa.xxv
In 2014, Lord Malloch Brown became the chairman of the board of SGO Corporation
Limited, a holding company based in London whose primary asset is Smartmatic
electronic voting machine technology.xxvi Lord Malloch-Brown is a member of the
British House of Lords, and a former vice-chairman of George Soros’ Investment
Funds, and former vice-president at the World Bank.xxvii The Washington Examiner
reported that Smartmatic’s “globalist ties” have raised serious concern in the U.S.
government for interference U.S. electoral processes.

2016
During the 2016 Trump-Clinton election, seventy-one million voters in 1,635
jurisdictions used Dominion, also tied to the Clinton Foundation, and a $2.25 million
project together.xxix
