A federal grand jury in South Florida on Thursday indicted Venezuelan-American executive Roger Piñate, founder and president of the voting-machine company Smartmatic, on charges of involving a bribery and money-laundering scheme used to secure elections contracts in the Philippines. According to federal prosecutors Piñate, 49, a Boca Ratón resident, along with Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 62, of Davie, and others others were involved in the payment of a $1 million in bribes to the former chairman of the Philippines’ Commission on Elections, Juan Andres Donato Bautista.
Piñate, alongside Venezuelans Antonio Mugica and Alfredo José Anzola, founded Smartmatic in 2000, and gained notoriety after the company was chosen by Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez to replace the country’s voting machines in 2004. The company grew by acquiring the much larger Sequoia Voting Systems in 2006, though the company later announced that it had divested its stake in that company.
Now for something most don't know -
Governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp was deeply in debt as in millions of dollars until after he signed/awarded the contract for voting machines - and somehow he was able to become debt free.
If you don't think this type of shit happens in America, you're very naïve.
Both sides of the aisle are corrupt beyond belief.
