Voting machine firm Venezuela tie faulted

http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=0201a6c02aef908f

U.S. politicians are worried the Venezuelan owners of a major electronic voting machine firm threaten national and election security, a report says.

Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, D-N.Y., has asked the Treasury Department to look into Sequoia Voting Systems and its parent company, Smartmatic Corp.

Smartmatic is owned by a group of Venezuelan investors but company president, Jack Blaine, said the firm no longer has ties to the Venezuelan government.

Maloney's letter to Treasury Secretary John Snow said foreign connections in U.S. voting could corrupt elections, the Los Angeles Times reports.
