Lake has requested that the election results be invalidated, or that she be declared the winner.<\/p>\n<p>The Verus Pro application for signature verification, which is owned by election technology vendor Runbeck, ranks signature matches on a scale of 0 to 100. However, only those scores &#8220;lower than 10&#8221; are &#8220;not marked as Accepted by Verus Pro,&#8221; according to an email from a Maricopa County official. According to a 2020 contract between Maricopa County and Runbeck, signatures with a score of 10 or higher are routed to a high-confidence manual signature verification queue, while signatures with a lower score are routed to a low-confidence signature verification queue.<\/p>\n<p>Maricopa County has yet to respond to follow-up questions about what voters must do to confirm or cure their signature or what the county uses Verus Pro for since its current contract with Runbeck says it&#8217;s for signature verification.<\/p>\n<p>Shelby Busch, the cofounder of We the People AZ, said how Maricopa County uses software for signature verification is &#8220;absolutely pertinent&#8221; to Lake&#8217;s case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The county leans on signature verification as the last line of defense,&#8221; viewing it as a &#8220;failsafe&#8221; that assures &#8220;the election is safe,&#8221; Busch said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Related Articles<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-src=\"http:\/\/bonginoreport.com\/DROP_PERMALINK_HERE\" data-widget-id=\"GS_1\" data-ob-mark=\"true\" data-browser=\"chrome\" data-os=\"linux x86_64\" data-dynload data-idx=\"0\" id=\"outbrain_widget_0\">\n<p><span>Recommended for you<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outbrain.com\/what-is\/default\/en\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"OBR.extern.callWhatIs('https:\/\/www.outbrain.com\/what-is\/default\/en','',-1,-1, false ,null);return false\"><\/p>\n<p><\/a>\n                                <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h2>Top Stories<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Just News, No Noise<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Trending<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Latest<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Just the News Spotlight<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maricopa County has contracts with Runbeck Election Services for Verus Pro signature verification software.
