we all know you didn't research. You just googled most well known
IDOL Copy Pasted :). Let's begin.
Congressional Testimony2006Quote
Sequoia announced that it had "completely" divested from Smartmatic in a management team-led buyout, thus ending an official review by Treasury's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
Smartmatic is investigated by the United States TreasuryFast Forward to April 2006---Quote (Jack Blaine CEO & President of Sequoia)
In his testimony before a Chicago City Council joint committee in April of 2006, Blaine had claimed he didn't know the specific details of the financial arrangement that existed between Sequoia Voting Systems, Inc., and the Smartmatic Corporation, despite being president of both companies at the time. He did, however, manage to admit to the joint committee that at least 15 Venezuelan nationals were flown in to assist in the tabulation of votes in the troubled March '06 election and that the Venezuelans had access to Sequoia's source code. Blaine also conceded that it was "possible" that Chavez' government could hold an interest in the company, but that he wasn't certain because the ownership of Smartmatic was concealed in an off-shore trust.
Afterwards the
Treasury Department forced Smartmatic to sell Sequoia, at which point
Dominion eventually purchases Sequoia and makes a statement.So
one Person has a control of TWO out of THREE ONLY voting companies authorized in the United States...

In November of 2006, as a federal investigation by the Treasury Department's CFIUS was closing in on the true provenance of Smartmatic's shadowy ownership, and after a failed attempt to find an outside buyer for the company, Blaine and several other Sequoia and/or Smartmatic executives formed SVS Holdings, Inc., and proceeded to purchase Sequoia from the parent company.
This statement is a flat out lie--- one which continues to propagate a years-long deception of the public, the media and election officials by Sequoia themselves.Quote
Dominion has acquired Sequoia’s (IP)inventory and
all intellectual property, including software, firmware and hardware, for Sequoia’s precinct and central
count optical scan and DRE voting solutions, including BPS, WinEDS, Edge, Edge2, Advantage, Insight,
InsightPlus and 400C systems.
April 11 2008Quote
During the April 11th, 2008 on a conference call, he was confronted with a question from an employee about one of the details in our report.The employee asked about the ownership of the Intellectual Property (IP) rights of the voting systems sold in the United States by Sequoia.
"It doesn't matter whether you have the IP rights, or you don't have the IP rights," Blaine explained on the call that he'd repeatedly stressed should remain confidential. His comments were in direct contradiction to both what he'd told the Chicago officials in January and what his company had been representing to election officials and in courtrooms across the country.
"We have the source code, and we have the right to modify it any way we want to modify it," he explained to the employee, concerning the company's ongoing licensing agreement with Smartmatic. "So it doesn't matter really whether we have the IP or not."

Lamb further underscores the control Smartmatic retains over Sequoia, and which they will likely continue to retain whether or not Hart is successful in its takeover attempt.
The management team that had purchased Sequoia, Blaine's SVS Holdings, Inc., has the right in its original contract to match the deal from Hart. Sources at both companies confirm that Sequoia/SVS is attempting to do exactly that, and may even be successful (we hope to have more, in the near future, on the attempts by Sequoia/SVS to save themselves, and the extraordinary financial measures and risks they are currently undertaking to try and do so.)
So whether SVS Holdings or Hart InterCivic wrestles some of the company away from Smartmatic, which currently holds a $2 million loan note from SVS' original "purchase" of the company, the Venezuelan Chavez-tied firm will still have control over software licensing rights and intellectual property rights for the voting systems used in some 20% of U.S. elections. Smartmatic also has the continuing right to determine where Sequoia may or may not do business outside of the U.S.
All in direct contradiction to claims that last years "new corporate ownership" had "completely eliminate[d] Smartmatic's ownership, control and operational rights of any kind in Sequoia."
Ald. Burke Question #8: "Please provide a list of any current employees or contractors of Sequoia who were at any time directly employed by Smartmatic.
Sequoia Response: The only members of the Sequoia managemnet team that have ever been employeed by Smartmatic are Jack Blaine and Kevin Hurst, both U.S. citizens. As you are well aware, Mr. Blaine was the President of Smartmatic when Smartmatic aquired Sequoia and then for a short time was President of both companies.Citations:1.
