Foreign control, anybody? First the Bush Administration tries to give over security at a number of US ports to the Dubai Ports World company. Now some of the votes being tallied in the upcoming November 7th elections are being handled by Smartmatic, a company owned by Venezuelan interests. The connection is being investigated by the Senate Committee on Foreign Investment and, although the company claims there's no connection between its ownership Venezuelan president and vehement America-hater Hugo Chávez, I'd still like to know why a foreign company is running US voting machines at all. Maybe we just outsource the voters, too.
*salga is Spanish for "get out"
