"The inquiry is focusing on the Venezuelan owners of the software company, the Smartmatic Corporation, and is trying to determine whether the government in Caracas has any control or influence over the firm’s operations, government officials and others familiar with the investigation said."

Please read my blog postings dated June 6, 2006 and June 11, 2006 for information related to the Smartmatic investigation.
Venezuelans fear that Chavez may cheat the e-voting results for the upcoming presidential elections scheduled to take place on December 3, 2006. There are reports that Chavez is intimidating oil workers to vote for him as reported by Aleksander Boyd editor of www.vcrisis.com in the next link:

It is imperative the international election observers are aware of claims of possible election fraud in Venezuela. There are rumors that Chavez allegedly placed limits on how many votes for the Opposition were to be tabulated in the 2004 Recall Referendum thus giving the winning numbers to him.
Cordially,
