Concern is growing over revelations that voting machines in a significant number of states could\u00a0be linked to\u00a0a company tied directly to billionaire leftist George Soros and his personal quest to create a nationless, borderless global state.<\/p>\n

The U.K.-based Smartmatic company posted a flow-chart\u00a0on its website that it had provided voting machines for 16 states, including important battleground states like Florida and Arizona. Smartmatic Chairman\u00a0Mark Malloch-Brown is a former U.N. official and sits on the board of Soros\u2019 Open Society Foundations. Since the story first broke, the flow-chart has disappeared from Smartmatic\u2019s website, raising further questions about the real status of the\u00a0Soros-tied voting equipment and whether it is truly being deployed in U.S. elections.<\/p>\n

If Malloch-Brown\u2019s Soros ties weren\u2019t troubling enough, he also has ties to the Clintons through his work at two consulting firms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to a spokesperson for the National Association of Secretaries of State, Smartmatic is not on a list of federally certified providers for election systems and officials in several states\u2019 have contested that their equipment came\u00a0from Smartmatic. Why, then, had Smartmatic bragged about providing over 50,000 voting machines for U.S. elections?<\/p>\n

Leaked emails courtesy of WikiLeaks have shed further light on the deeply incestuous relationship between Soros and high-level Democratic Party players. The discovery that a\u00a0man who may have provided\u00a0voting equipment to\u00a016 states is tied directly to the man who has given millions of dollars to the Clinton campaign and various progressive and globalist causes will surely leave a bad taste in many voters\u2019 mouths.<\/p>\n

Malloch-Brown\u2019s ties to Soros stretch far beyond his position at OSF. In the mid-1990s, Malloch-Brown was part of the Soros Advisory Committee on Bosnia. Malloch-Brown is also a member of the executive committee of the International Crisis Group, an organization he co-founded in the 1990s and built primarily with funds from George Soros\u2019 personal fortune.<\/p>\n

Whilst working for the U.N., Malloch-Brown rented an apartment from Soros when on assignment in New York. In 2007, Soros appointed Malloch-Brown vice president of his Quantum Funds, vice chairman of Soros Fund Management, and vice chairman of the Open Society Institute (the former name of OSF).<\/p>\n

If Malloch-Brown’s Soros ties weren’t troubling enough, he also has ties to the Clintons through his work at two consulting firms known for their Clinton connections.<\/p>\n

Malloch-Brown was a partner with Sawyer-Miller, the consulting firm where close Clinton associate Mandy Grunwald once worked. She ran the firm’s communications contract with the 1992 Clinton campaign. Malloch-Brown was also a senior adviser to FTI Consulting, a firm at which Jackson Dunn, who spent 15 years working as an aide to the Clintons, is a senior managing director.<\/p>\n

Malloch-Brown’s ties to George Soros and the Clintons are enough to elicit fear over Smartmatic’s possible involvement in the U.S. election \u2014 but when combined with Smartmatic’s dismal track record of providing free and fair elections, their involvement in the U.S. presidential election becomes downright terrifying.<\/p>\n

A 2006 classified U.S. diplomatic cable obtained and released by WikiLeaks reveals the extent to which Smartmatic may have played a hand in rigging the 2004 Venezuelan recall election under a section titled “A Shadow of Fraud.” The memo stated that “Smartmatic Corporation is a riddle both in ownership and operation, complicated by the fact that its machines have overseen several landslide (and contested) victories by President Hugo Chavez and his supporters.”<\/p>\n

“The Smartmatic machines used in Venezuela are widely suspected of, though never proven conclusively to be, susceptible to fraud,” the memo continued. “The Venezuelan opposition is convinced that the Smartmatic machines robbed them of victory in the August 2004 referendum. Since then, there have been at least eight statistical analyses performed on the referendum results.”<\/p>\n

“One study obtained the data log from the CANTV network and supposedly proved that the Smartmatic machines were bi-directional and in fact showed irregularities in how they reported their results to the CNE central server during the referendum,” it read.<\/p>\n

In another section titled “At Least Corruption,” the author of the memo wrote that even if “Smartmatic can escape the fraud allegation, there is still a corruption question.”<\/p>\n

Smartmatic had claimed it provided\u00a0machines to Arizona, California, Colorado, Washington, D.C., Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin \u2014 it has since pulled that information off its website.<\/p>\n

Note: This story has been updated to reflect that Smartmatic\u00a0removed\u00a0information on its equipment’s use in U.S. elections from its website, as well as to reflect comment from the\u00a0National Association of Secretaries of State that Smartmatic is not on a list of firms that provide federally-certified election systems to states.<\/em><\/p>\n
