Voting machine manufacturer Smartmatic recently asked Sidney Powell’s attorney to withdraw a statement alleging Smartmatic’s involvement in election fraud. Prominent attorney Lin Wood replied on behalf of Powell on Dec. 20, saying he would not withdraw any statement.
Lin Wood tweeted on Dec. 20, “Attorney Powell understands my knowledge and experience in handling defamation charges and has asked me to respond to Smartmatic’s threat to sue on her behalf. All of Attorney Powell’s election fraud allegations are well documented and true, so my response to Smartmatic is very simple and straight to the point.”
In an email response to Smartmaticl’s attorney, Linwood said, “I read your letter of December 15, 2020 in detail and was not impressed. Attorney Powell will not retract any statement. You are free to sue.”
Attorney Linwood has successfully won defamation lawsuits for a number of individuals, and the cases in question are highly publicized.
Powell later retweeted Linwood’s tweet.
In a letter dated Dec. 15, Smartmatic asked Powell to retract his remarks, while accusing Powell of alleged defamation that affected the company’s business, and said it was filing a defamation lawsuit through its attorney.
In the letter, Smartmatic said Powell “conspired with others to create false information to attack Smartmatic,” and “appears to have appeared in several media outlets, including but not limited to Fox News, Fox Business and Newsmax. and Newsmax, telling millions of readers that Smartmatic was founded during the administration of Hugo Chávez (the former socialist dictator of Venezuela), that the company’s software was used to change election results, and that Smartmatic conspired with other companies to defraud the American people by The letter also denies that it has any connection with Dominic’s. The letter also denies that it is affiliated with Dominion.
Last week, Dominion also sent a letter to Powell requesting a retraction of the statement, after previously denying that its voting machines changed votes and that it had ties to foreign governments.
Powell’s sworn testimony regarding the voting machines came from former 305th Military Intelligence electronic intelligence analysts, national security personnel from the Chavez administration, relatives of the former executive director of Smartmatic, election security experts and others. The sworn testimonies of these witnesses were submitted to the court in the indictment.
In addition, although the two voting machine companies deny any connection, Smartmatic sold its subsidiary Sequoia (Sequoia Voting Systems) to Sequoia’s executive management team in 2007, and Dominion acquired Sequoia in 2010, the same year former Smartmatic vice president Eric Coomer joined Dominion.
Wikileaks revealed a July 20, 2006 diplomatic cable from the U.S. State Department indicating that Smartmatic’s 30 anonymous investors and unnamed partners were primarily high-level Venezuelan officials.
Interviews were conducted in early December with the former head of Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, as well as with former CIA officials familiar with Latin American politics and counterterrorism activities. They both said that the abrupt stoppage of the vote count on Election Day in the United States this year, followed by a sudden surge of votes for Biden, was very similar to the Venezuelan referendum in 2004.
