Ask Smartmatic

/ March 22, 2015

As primaries and elections loom, @LuisCarlos Diaz’s in-depth, myth-busting interview with Smartmatic’s Rui Santos (@ElRui) is well worth an hour of your time.

Longtime readers know my view here: there’s a lot that’s wrong with the way elections are run in Venezuela, but little of it has to do with the e-voting system itself, which actually includes a series of redundancies and checks that make it, at a minimum, far safer than any possible manual option.

I realize that for a slice of public opinion – and of our readership – the idea that Smartmatic cheats is obviously sacrosanct: a revealed truth beyond the need for evidence or argument. I don’t suppose those people will get much from the interview – or even sit through it, actually.

For the rest of us, this is a good primer.

  1. Myst boosting? For someone who has no idea about computer science, this interview might be convincing.

    Belgium? I am Belgian and I can send you a bunch of links of the amounts of time we have had problems with the Smartmatic system. Fast? The areas where Smartmatic was used had more problems than the areas where it was not used and the process was not faster…
    In my case, the system even was blocked and the “jefe de mesa” had to come, see the ticket I got from the Smartmatic machine, try to get it run again. It was a mess.
    Smartmatic is trying to get to the Netherlands as well, I hope they get out of there soon, as the Dutch seem more sensible.
    Here you have one of the many links about the Smartmatic problems:

    The Belgian political system is indeed more complex than the German or the Norwegian one but
    the actual ballot is not. And Germany and Norway have clear results on the same day of voting.

  2. The thing about the “papelito” is an absolute joke. As we have discussed already: only if we have enough people in every voting centre and they manage to stay up to the very end to verify the counting can we be sure of things.

    You can test a computer a zillion times and get the results you expect (and a voting machine IS a computing machine) but you will never know what it will do next. There are several very simple ways to switch the system to do something else when there is no testing person around and you don’t even need to have connectivity.

    We hardly have enough people in voting centres and when we do, they are often threatened, they have to leave the place and so on when the military wants them to do so. Let’s remember Francisco believed Caldera when that guy said we had everything under control everywhere.

    What this system does is to speed up the process whereby Lucena can say “results are irreversible” and the military does whatever it wants with the boxes.

      • Francisco,

        I gave you one link showing what a mess Smartmatic has been in Belgium. I will send you more about
        how they have done in Belgium and I will compare that to what actually is in place in Germany and the Netherlands (the guy mentioned the Netherlands! the chutzpah)

        I haven’t provided proof of concrete fraud using Smartmatic, I have only mentioned time after time the reasons Germans and Dutch have not to use e-voting. Unlike them this is not “you are guilty
        only guilty if proven guilty”. For them it is “you can’t do it unless there is clear proof
        your system cannot be manipulated”

        And any digital system can be manipulated. Do you need proof for this? This is quite obvious, with or without papelito: it’s the binaries as opposed to the source code!
        Do you want me to send you a little executable that will repeat whatever you want it to repeat and send a copy of that to your printer UNLESS I tell it to do otherwise? That’s everything one needs.

        On top of that: these guys are completely devoid of any ethics. The main problem with Smarmatic in Venezuela is that it is used to declare “ventaja irreversible” and let the military caste control all the boxes
        Where on Earth but in Venezuela do we have ventajas irreversibles?
        In Germany and Norway you get clear results much earlier than in Venezuela, people declare victory and defeat but nothing is declared “irreversible” and proofs are not destroyed as they are in Venezuela.

  4. I would have loved a synopsis of this long rationale for Smartmatic. As it stands, there was too much verbiage and not enough cut-to-the-bone. As I didn’t listen to the complete 58:45 minutes of chatter, I don’t know if the following subject came up. And it is this:

    On the day of presidential voting, Venezuelans outside the country, who take the trouble to go to their nearest Vzlan embassy or consulate to exercise their civic duty, find at the end of the voting procedure that their votes are hand-counted and ‘urnas’ sealed, to be couriered — we are told — to Vzla the following day, But that tally of (overwhelmingly oppo) votes from around the world is NEVER ADDED to the final results in Venezuela, not even days after.

    • As for the numbers of largely oppo votes that are not included by Smartmatic or the CNE ….

      Here is a 2010 study of Vzlans abroad, their totals numbering 921,500: http://www.ultimasnoticias.com.ve/infografias/venezolanos-en-el-exterior.aspx .

      The number of Vzlans abroad has increased significantly since 2010, at least in my nearest area. Obviously not all these Vzlans abroad are of voting age, nor do they all vote. But I would wager that Vzlan voters who take the time and trouble to vote, outside Vzla, today, number at least one million.

S., with 240 years of democracy, the number of registered voters is only 65% or so of total adults; 5) The UCAB study revealing that 14 of the 24 Venezuelan states with more registered voters than respective populations must be “incorrect” (sic); and 6) The various statistical studies that have been done showing Venezuelan voting anomalies must all be hogwash.

  11. I’m glad that Smartmatic has begun its marketing campaign to gain public confidence, ahead of the next elections, and that it can count on a google hangout of one of its employees, Rui Santos, with Panamanian-based engr Luis Carlos Díaz, as well as a published link to that hangout in Caracas Chronicles.com. Qué fino. Espero que cobraste, Quico.

    I’m also heartened by the following, starting approx. at minute 30…

    While Smartmatic can trap the irregularities that occur in a particular voting centre (due to the use of duplicated cédulas or a mismatch between fingerprints vs information on the fraudulent cédula), it cannot do so when that same fraudulent cédula is used in another voting centre — until the next election. Meaning, there is no real time electronic policing by Smartmatic or the CNE. The irregularities are simply reported to the CNE, we’re told.

    Never mind that the public will ever know of these “caught” irregularities; the CNE is mum on the matter. And never mind that the fraud can be exercised in another centre. The important thing to remember is that as Smartmatic informs on those irregularities, and the CNE builds up its data base of (oh-so-secret) fraudulent activities, “el cerco se va cerrando”.

    Have I understood correctly? If so, espejitos por oro.

    Why didn’t the Carter Centre ever mention the existence of this particular fraud, when it gave its papal blessing to the regime’s use of Smartmatic machines?

    Does this hangout mean that Toro, who has long been adamant that no fraud exists in the Smartmatic-controlled vote, now sees that fraud is possible?

(The derp really is off the charts here!)

            Now this.

            Listen, it’s pretty simple. Election after election year after year, for almost a decade thousands of volunteers at voting centers all over Venezuela have put on some *very* long days overseeing voting and have closed those days by MANUALLY COUNTING the comprobantes de voto from a random sample of voting machines, then checking them against the machine tallies.

            Year after year, election after election for almost a decade I’ve made the simple, limited, fairly self-evident claim that IF the machines were changing the votes, the audit counts wouldn’t match the machine counts, and that would be pretty damn obvious to everybody.

            Year after year, election after election I’ve challenged someone, anyone, to just show even ONE audit tally that fails to match its corresponding machine tally. No such evidence has ever been put forward by anyone, including by the HCR Campaign, which never alledged this in its 2013 impugnación.

            All these years later you CONTINUE to claim a fraud for which you not only have no proof but the absolutely crushing weight of evidence against you simply refuse to acknowledge.

    Smartmatic has drawn attention because of concerns that the government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, an opponent of U.S. policies, has a stake in the company. That is a focus of the Cfius review. In 2004, Smartmatic’s machines were used in an election to recall President Chávez, which Mr. Chávez won handily — and which members of the Venezuelan opposition say was riddled with fraud. Smartmatic machines will be used Sunday in Venezuela’s presidential election.

    Essentially, the Justice Department is looking into whether Smartmatic got its start in Venezuela by bribing officials and then improperly avoiding its tax liability in the U.S. The company says it paid $1.5 million to a Venezuelan consultant who is close to the Chávez government and helped to win Smartmatic business.

    The allegation being investigated is that Smartmatic actually paid as much as $4 million to the consultant, then deleted a substantial portion of those payments from its corporate records to hide the extent of its payments to a friend of the Chávez regime. .

  15. I guess its my turn to be clobbered , I havent seen the whole video, but the impression I have is that the problem lies not in the electronic system itself but in other kind of irregularities which have to do how the process is handled inside and outside the voting booth and that much of it has to do with the need for the activities in all voting tables to be appropiately monitored by competent and resolved oppo witnesses .

    I was surprised by the minimum margin by which Maduro officially won the election , If you had the system rigged the margin should have been more convincingly large . This election was all important for the regime and I think there is evidence , specially on the forensics side that many irregularities were committed to obtain that win but not any significant evidence that it was primarily done by electronical manipulation of the numbers .

    Ill try and see the whole video and then maybe I ll change my mind , meantime Ill give the smarmatic presentation the benefit of my doubt.

From Venezuela to the Philippines, from the USA to Mexico, every single contract awarded to Smartmatic has been marred with allegations of bribes, and corruption, and the company is yet to come out of the closet and present credible evidence that, indeed, it purchased from Hugo Chavez the 28% stake acquired originally through proxy Omar Montilla.”

As the SmarmyMatic rep says in your video (which I saw completely), each voting center receives the info on the Cedula numbers/names of that part of the at least 6 million “registered voters” who never really registered that corresponds to each center. From there, with inoperable/turned off fingerprint machines, and “honorable/uncorruptible” voting center officials, unencumbered by those pesky Oppo witnesses, the machines “vote” those really unregistered voters, and even if necessary those registered but who have never/rarely voted, and the boxes stuffed with corresponding tallying paper vouchers, at will. Why else do you think that the Regime has an impossible 99% eligible voter registration, in a Country where voter registration is not compulsory, and has14 of 24 Venezuelan states with more voters registered than total respectve populations–because of the Regime’s love of “universal suffrage”? Luckily, RD’s recent Senate Sub-Committee testimony began by spotlighting electoral fraud in Venezuela, and mentioning it will be very difficult to unseat this criminal enterprise by electoral means.

    “Al contrario de lo está sucediendo en Europa, en Venezuela continuamos con un sistema electrónico que le arrebató al pueblo el derecho a elegir al confiscarle el control sobre el proceso electoral. El sistema electoral venezolano ya no le pertenece ni lo controla el pueblo. Le pertenece a una empresa privada, SMARTMATIC, y al gobierno, y su control pasó a ser una cuestión de expertos. Por tanto, no existe ningún asunto que los venezolanos podamos dirimir a través del voto electrónico. La idea planteada en la nueva constitución de que la soberanía no reside en el voto, es un hecho vigente desde que el gobierno se la apropió a través de SMARTMATIC en el 2004.

    Como todo sistema electrónico, el sistema es una caja negra para todos los electores venezolanos. Sólo si todos fuéramos ingenieros electrónicos o de sistemas podríamos saber si los resultados electorales reflejan fidedignamente la voluntad popular. Y aún así, no es fácil para los especialistas demostrar si un sistema ha sido “intervenido” para hacer fraude, pero lo que si saben los especialistas –como los de Holanda- es que es posible hacerlo.

    SMARTMATIC ha dicho que su sistema es muy seguro. ¿Y quién va a creerle? Ni que los venezolanos fuéramos tontos. SMARTMATIC es una empresa contratista del gobierno. Una contratista privilegiada, ya que tiene contratados tres jugosos paquetes con el gobierno: el sistema de votación del CNE, el Sistema Unificado Automatizado de Seguridad y Salud (SUASS) de la Alcaldía Mayor [5] y el sistema de inscripción de los militantes del PSUV [6] .

    • Smartmatic, propiedad del venezolano Antonio Mugica, ha tenido a cargo la transmisión de resultados electorales en varios países, entre ellos, las elecciones presidenciales en Venezuela en enero anterior cuando resultó ganador Nicolás Maduro, resultados que fueron impugnados por el candidato de la oposición, Henrique Capriles, quien aseguró que hubo fraude y pidió el recuento de todos los votos, pero el Consejo Nacional Electoral (CNE) de ese país, las ratificó como válidas.

      Esa misma compañía estuvo en el ojo del huracán en 2006, al incursionar al mercado electoral estadounidense y tras la compra de la empresa Sequoia Voting System con la cual participó en las votaciones en el condado de Cook en Chicago, donde las máquinas electrónicas que utilizó dicha compañía “no funcionaron correctamente”, lo cual fue calificado como un “desastre” por las autoridades locales.

      La misma fue investigada por el Comité de Inversiones Extranjeras en los Estados Unidos (CFIUS, por sus siglas en inglés), reportaron en su momento los importantes periódicos The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post y The New York Times, de Estados Unidos y retomados por los periódicos digitales El Universal, de Venezuela, y Crónica.com.mx, de México.

      “Smartmatic International Group es propiedad principalmente de fundaciones controladas por tres venezolanos – Mugica, Roger Pinate y Alfredo Anzola. Era una pequeña empresa hasta que venció a Election Systems & Software Nebraska en 2004 para un contrato de suministro de la tecnología de votación en Venezuela. Con millones de dólares en ganancias de ese contrato, Smartmatic compró Sequoia el año pasado de una empresa británica por unos $16 millones. Sequoia suministra máquinas electrónicas de votación por lo menos en una docena de estados (de Estados Unidos)”, publicó The Washington Post el 31 de octubre de 2006.

      “Una falla en el uso de máquinas de votación de Sequoia en las primarias de marzo en Chicago dio lugar a preguntas acerca de la estructura corporativa de Smartmatic, que tiene su sede en las Antillas Holandesas en el Caribe, pero en manos de nacionales venezolanos”, reportó el mismo periódico.

      El nuevo presidente de Smartmatic, Jack A. Blaine, “reconoció en una audiencia pública que los trabajadores de Smartmatic habían volado de Venezuela para ayudar con la votación”, cita The New York Times.

      Añade dicho periódico que “algunos problemas con la elección más tarde fueron atribuidas a un componente de software que transmite los resultados de la votación a un ordenador central, que se desarrolló en Venezuela”.
