The most incredible factoid for me: These machines, the Smartmatic machines, weren't even really used in the election.
>Smartmatic technology was used only in Los Angeles County, California in the 2020 election. The system we provided to LA County does not count, tabulate or store votes.[1]
A single county in the whole of the United States used them. Verifiable or not, there's nothing this company could of done to change a national election outcome.
Someone somewhere started repeating that Smartmatic currently owned Dominion when their only connection was that they had sold off Sequoia Voting Systems——which Dominion currently owns, more than a decade ago.[2][3] Once that false factoid got in the system it was a convenient enough fact for some political factions that it got repeated everywhere.

- rspeele 6y agoYeah, one of the things you are expected to accept right off the bat going into the conspiracy "evidence" is that all of these companies are essentially the same entity: Diebold, Dominion, Sequoia, SmartMatic, and Edison Research. Once you buy that, you'll also buy that they're all owned by communist China.

- triceratops 6y agoSame thing, as far as conspiracy theorists are concerned.
- spacemanmatt 6y agoThat is a critically important point. Their willingness to conflate entities that are distinct to other people gives them a broken worldview that is very hard to understand.
