The tech company that oversaw the hand count of Maricopa County ballots in Arizona s Republican Senate-led audit of 2020 election results has decided to back out of the recount, audit officials said.
Audit spokesperson and former Arizona Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen told the Arizona Republic Tuesday that Pennsylvania-based Wake TSI decided not to renew its contract, which ended May 14.
Arizona state Senate President Karen Fann (R) also told local NBC affiliate KPNX that Wake, which was the subcontractor working under the audit’s main contractor, Cyber Ninjas, would no longer be involved in the audit, which officials say is likely to continue through next month.

Dominion Voting Systems released a statement Thursday calling the audit of the 2020 election in Arizona s Maricopa County an irresponsible act after Senate President Karen Fann questioned whether someone deleted a main database from the Election Management System last month. Dominion voluntarily provides access to voting machine equipment and information to auditors who have been accredited by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. We happily did so with the independent EAC-accredited providers that Maricopa County hired for system auditing earlier this year, the company wrote in a statement obtained by 12 News reporter Brahm Resnik, one day after Fann raised questions with the Maricopa County Elections Department.
