United States Voting Integrity is at Risk with Smartmatic Voting Systems

In June, Los Angeles County made the move to hire Smartmatic, a Venezuelan-owned company, for up to $282 million to overhaul their voting system. This decision was made after this year’s mysterious California Primary glitch of 118,000 names that went missing from the L.A. County voter rosters. The goal is to have this system complete and ready for March 2020 [1] — just in time for the 2020 Presidential Elections.

Smartmatic quickly opened new offices in Santa Monica and hired about 50 new employees. [2] There are also Smartmatic voting machines in 16 US states including contested battleground states like Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia, as well as in District of Columbia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin.

Smartmatic has been making waves into in the United States elections without much media exposure. They are currently attempting to add more machines and to overhaul the voting systems in more states. Most recently, Kevin Shelly, the US President of Smartmatic, was in Georgia offering demos of their machines.
