EXCLUSIVE: Another Election System Provider – Tenex Software – Like Knowink – Connects to Internet, Not Certified, Not Audited, Across Numerous States

On Friday TGP determined that BPro had been purchased by Knowink in 2021 and added to its suite of election system products.

Knowink has one product that is labeled Poll Pad that replaces paper processing.  These devices clearly are on the Internet.  In 2021 Knowink surpassed 100,000 poll pads units.

Knowink promotes other systems, including its ePulse system as follows:

ePulse is an all-inclusive election management suite designed to give administrators real-time access to monitor their election as a whole. All Poll Pads connect to this central hub where voter check-in data is securely transferred via WiFi or cellular networks in near real time. This tool allows for administrators to oversee the operation of individual precincts and Poll Pads including battery life of the device, average check-in times, number of ballots issued or spoiled; all the while ensuring the election authority can directly contact poll workers via video or text message for speedy trouble resolution.
