No news is more surreal than this: Mexico has just awarded $150 million.
However, what seems utterly ignorant is how Mexican media describe Smartmatic as a Dutch company, when it is publicly known that the company chose to divest from Sequoia and obstruct a CFIUS investigation into its complex ownership structure after its ties to the Venezuelan regime were exposed. Without a doubt, Smartmatic is as Dutch as Hugo Chávez. Moreover, Smartmatic has yet to conduct its first truly transparent and problem-free election, the only area where the corporation has records.
