The Pennsylvania-based IT company that was in charge of running the hand recount of Maricopa County ballots is no longer involved in the audit.

The contract with Wake TSI ended May 14, the original completion date for the hand count, and the company chose not to renew its contract, according to Randy Pullen, an audit spokesperson and former state GOP chair.

"They were done," he said. "They didn't want to come back."

Wake TSI was the subcontractor that developed and oversaw the procedures for recounting the county's nearly 2.1 million ballots, working under Cyber Ninjas, the state Senate's main contractor performing the overall audit of the county's general election results.

Pullen said that Scottsdale-based technology company StratTech Solutions has taken over running the hand count, using Wake's procedures. It's unclear whether the company, which specializes in cybersecurity and other internet technology, has any election or auditing experience.

3. None of these people had good reputations to begin with....

I think it's more they don't want any liability for fraud and other crimes surrounding this fraudit.

4. I'm sure the handoff will be straight forward and documented (not)

8. Chain-Of-Custody?

What's that?

[captain queeg]

9. I'm just talking about any materials and records they have so far

If the first group got their hands on ballots you’d want to be sure everything is accounted for

This whole thing is a circus. The only thing not present is Donnie the Ring Master.

5. I was kinda hoping this was about the Cyber Ninjas.

Unfortunately, democracy couldn't be that lucky.

7. They Don't Want

to be associated with the Cyber Bozos when the multi-million dollar lawsuits start.

10. We are there: The point where it's too damned expensive to work for criminals.

The legal and insurance nightmares erode any profits to outsiders. This misunderstanding brought to you by the party of big business....

11. That violates chain of custody again.
