… Reid Hoffman, a billionaire and Democratic donor, secretly invested $24 million in Smartmatic to fund defamation lawsuits against Fox News and Newsmax, aiming to silence criticism of Smartmatic's electronic voting machines after their security was questioned post-2020 election.No kidding

Smartmatic concealed this funding arrangement from the court and defendants, violating transparency laws like the Litigation Transparency Act of 2025, which mandates disclosure of third-party litigation funding to prevent hidden influences in legal proceedings.
This case highlights broader concerns about Smartmatic, as its executives were indicted in 2024 for bribery and money laundering in the Philippines, and a 2017 Venezuelan election audit revealed their machines recorded 1 million extra votes, contradicting earlier claims of security by figures like Jimmy Carter.
