For any anons doing digging on Smartmatic, there is some really good historical evidence here. Article is old (2011) but goes into the original company funding and names names. Definitely worth a read.
In June 2003, the Venezuelan government bought through an intermediary, Omar Montilla Castillo, a 28% participation in a company called Bizta R&D Software C.A. for 300 million Bolivares [link]. Bizta was owned by Antonio Mugica and the late Alfredo Anzola, and was part of a consortium of companies (Smartmatic, Bizta, CANTV or SBC) contracted by Venezuela to automatise elections.
In the first quarter of 2004, SBC was granted a $121 million contract, of which $91 million went to Smartmatic & Bizta, both owned by Antonio Mugica and Alfredo Anzola. This was to be the first contract won by Smartmatic in Venezuela. Since, Smartmatic has been granted, without public tender, contracts worth, at least, $131 million by the Chavez administration.
