the vulnerability isn't a vulnerability, its a feature. Dominion allows the status quo to remain the status quo by manipulating the outcome of the election and keeping the power where it is instead of the people who the people actually voted for.
And that's where the similarities with Smartmatic and Venezuela come into play. There doesn't have to be a direct connection because they employ the same methods, even if using different source codes. They still arrive at the same manufactured result.
Just from looking at the history of electronic voting systems I would be very surprised if there were vast differences between different vendor's source codes. Minor differences, sure, as each new owner might tweak a few things here and there but the basic Election Management Systems are likely very very similar. It would make sense because of the simplicity of what they are designed to do, count votes and throw out votes.
It's not the machine's fault if it isn't calibrated correctly. It is not the machine's fault that it is being directed to look at the wrong part of the ballot using the alignment markers and kick it out to human adjudication. Humans did that.
And in the case of the counting center in Maricopa County, those humans in control of those machines and the counting process were exclusively Dominion employees and contractors with their marching orders.
