The question should be asked how this didn’t go through a standard RFP process when you are replacing a key component of the voting system and not just “upgrading”. It’s a 30+ million purchase that unfairly leaves out other companies from being able to bid.

There are so many lies surrounding this new purchase and it only needs more digging to reveal the lies.

FITS and DN, you did not let my most recent, detailed and important, comment on this story through.
Here is what I tried to post on your YouTube Week-in-Review today; let’s see how quickly you delete it:
Will Folks you are a hypocrite and teaching Jenn Wood and DN to become hypocrites if they were not already been so when she came to you.
I’ve been giving you details of the self-dealing at USC, specially of its forever General Counsel Terry Parham’s laundering Saudi money to the late Gehan Sadat and Terry Parham’s promoting the Insurance Reserve Fund which farms out state civil legal business to Terry’s brother, James Parham.
You probably protect USC because your own father teaches/taught there.
Self-dealing and nepotism are also rife between the Shedds and the Wootens. Dennis Shedd’s daughter Sara is, according to her FaceBook page(s), a bitcoin dealer married to a former law clerk of still-sitting Judge Terry Wooten, who also employed Shedd’s son and daughter-in-law as law clerks.
Also, Jenn Wood TOTALLY twisted the aggrieved father’s focus. Mr. Ferderico correctly initially noted that his daughter would have been alive had the owner of the apartment in which she stayed not left his gun unlocked.
What Mr. Ferderico wanted was a law penalizing gun owners who leave their guns unlocked and unattended. That would have been effective, common-sense, and Second-Amendment-respecting law; but you twist everything for your grudge against lawyers-legislators.
And there is NO PROVEN connection between non-homicidal “manual strangulation” and later homicide with fire arms.
Just go coercive-control yourself. You thwarted my efforts to reform Hatchet-for-Hire Heather (whose father also employed relatives of federal jurists) because you, yourself are a Mic-for-Money Mate.
How long will you ignore the detailed and objectively-supported information I have been giving you?

While Strom-Thurmond-Shielding-Shedd and the triple-nepo-Wootens are on a selective-prosecution tear against two SC state government bureaucrats, and while Will Folks and Jenn Woods are on a feigned crusade for “judicial transparency,” I am entitled to renew my question about Dennis Shedd’s BFF Terry Wooten’s alliance with Jean Toal to facilitate Terry Wooten’s second wife’s (Susie Jones Wooten) scheme/success in what is known as occupancy fraud or mortgage fraud and is SO SERIOUS it caused the UK’s Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner to resign. And here in the U.S. it caused indictments against NY Attorney General Letitia James and efforts to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her seat.
I make ABSOLUTELY NO COMMENT on the James and Cook cases because I do not know their facts.
But I DO know SOME of the facts on one Sharon (“Sherry”) Bonner Koon’s scheme to FALSELY pretend a house on 436 Byron Road, Columbia, SC 29209, which she had been from 2002 to 2008 renting to my mother and me had been Koon’s PRIMARY residence all along that period. Koon then sought to have the ENTIRE mortgage on that house forgiven under the federal HAMP assistance program meant EXCLUSIVELY for distressed owner-occupied residences.
The federal statute of limitations on mortgage fraud by Koon may have expired. But South Carolina has NO statute of limitations on ANY crime. I therefore DEMAND an investigation into whether Rasputin of SC Courts, Daniel Edward Shearouse, who curated the alliance between Terry Wooten and Jean Toal knew of Sherry Koon’s mortgage fraud scheme.
And I paste here, too, what I wrote under Jenn Wood’s story on Barabara Ann Mixson’s 40-year work for, and devotion to, the late Libby and Handsome Murdaugh:
Since the atrocity of Richard Alexander Murdaugh’s (“RAM”) 2023 FALSE conviction of two murders is an extension of the great Dr. Marie Faltas’ 2009 FALSE arrests on KNOWN-FALSE harassment charges (which she, thank God, ultimately defeated WITHOUT A LAWYER after a five-day jury trial presided over by none other than Judge Clifton Newman), and since RAM, himself is a descendant of three generations of prosecutors, and since his RAM’s lawyers, Messers. Harpootlian and Griffin, are themselves former prosecutors who are IN TOTAL DENIAL of how they built a rotten prosecutorial system which allows, and EVEN ENCOURAGES, the use of false prosecutions for one improperly-favored party in a civil case to gain unfair advantage in the civil litigation, I remain MORE qualified AND courageous to speak against ALL people and events which built that system that now came back to bite its own builders.
They are reaping what they sowed; e.g., use of the unreliable polygraphs in federal plea agreements; even though NOTHING justifies the false conviction of two murders.
But what I always sowed was science, truth, AND love for my enemies, including the KNOWN-false witnesses against me.
So, I am entitled to paste here (perhaps RAM gets to read it if his failed lawyers allow it) my questions to FITS about the peripatetic Rasputin of SC’s courts, Daniel Edward Shearouse:
BTW, while you are on that feigned judicial-transparency kick, can you find out why FOR THE THIRD WEEK IN A ROW your SC Supreme Court has NOT posted the weekly advance sheets.
Is that related somehow to the upcoming judicial elections? Or to the Rasputin of the SC courts Daniel Edward Shearouse continuing to pull the strings behind the scenes even though a white woman is now SUPPOSEDLY the Clerk of SC’s supreme court and a woman is SUPPOSEDLY the Director of SC Court Administration?
Rasputin Shearouse SUPPOSEDLY retired as SC supreme court clerk but continued to work there for an hourly salary he pretended UNDER OATH he does not know.
Then, Rasputin Shearouse was appointed as Director of SC Court Administration WITHOUT ADVERTIZING or COMPETITIVE APPLICATION. After I pointed that out in a complaint about Kittredge’s nepotism, a woman was named Director of SC Court Administration though the same announcement said that Shearouse will stay as “Interim Director” for an indefinite period SUPPOSEDLY to break the new Director in even though Rasputin Shearouse has had no REAL FORMAL experience himself directing SC court administration.
And while you are at it, can you (or will you) FOIA Shearouse’s payments from POSSIBLE double or even triple office holding? Or is Rasputin of SC’s courts pulling YOUR strings, too? After all, your outlet has been sued and is now being sued my none other than Mark (“The Tiger”) Tinsley.
We shall, God willing, see.

I pray to God that Dennis Shedd and Terry Wooten and their relatives take what I write in my true spirit; and for further explanation, please consider the following:
A totally NON-POLITICAL show I appreciate on NPR is Hidden Brain, a show which cites published PEER-REVIEWD pioneering research on how the human brain works and interviews the authors of those published SCIENTIFIC papers and/or books.
At the threshold, BIOLOGICAL PLAUSIBILITY is a totally separate concept in medical and epidemiological research from intuitiveness. Please accept that for now OR allow me to explain the difference later.
But some scientific research comes out with COUNTER-INTUITIVE results which, if methodologically sound AND biologically plausible, must be accepted and respected.
One of those counter-intuitive results is that the human brain views the “future you” as a foreign person to, not an extension of, the “present you.” That is why it is VERY difficult for the “present you” to make decisions costly to the “present you” but VERY beneficial to the “future you,” who is a foreign person to your brain.
For example, the “present you” sees no reason to give up the pleasure of smoking that cigarette (if pleasure there really is beyond mere habit) for the benefit of preventing that foreign “future you” from getting lung cancer.
But God in His wisdom (or Nature in its wisdom if you are atheist) blessed humanity with the Bell Curve which has extremes on both ends. of intelligence and imbecility, of good and evil, of strength and weakness, of love and hatred, etc.
For now, please accept that I am on the extreme of foresight and creativity and ask the “present you” to forgo the pleasure of insulting me in return for the benefit of the “future you” profiting from my ideas.
And what I am LOVINGLY but forcefully saying in all my Murdaugh-related and SC-Judiciary-related posts is that the legal system built for the pleasure of the “present you” (lawyers, prosecutors, judges, clerks, etc.) is so rotten and unscientific it will come back to bite the “future you” and the “future your children and grandchildren.”
When the Bible tells us that God exacts redemption for “the sins of the fathers” on the children to the third generation and the fourth generation (it does not clarify whether that is concurrent or consecutive) it does NOT depict a vindictive God or some magic or superstitious. It does warn that the systems you build today will affect you and your children and grandchildren tomorrow and the day thereafter.
So, not only the founding generations of Murdaughs, but ALL prosecutors, built a system with vast prosecutorial powers AND the winked-at practice of malicious prosecutions to gain unfair advantages in family-court and/or civil-court litigation, came back to bite Richard Alexander Murdaugh (“RAM”) and will come back to bite the children and grandchildren of judges who pander to prosecutors when the pandering judges are no longer in power.
For the sake of the “future you” and yours, please deny the “present you” the pleasure of insulting me but, instead, take what I write in my spirit of love and foresight.
