The program used to verify signature matches is a program named Verus Pro and it is run by far-left-leaning Runbeck, who also counts the votes despite an Arizona law that forbids it.
But, much worse than that is the fact that Verus Pro marks anything with a 10% match as being “High Confidence.” In what other profession or method of testing is 10% considered good? If you do your work well just 10% of the time would you still have a job?
If a witness in a trial told the truth just 10% of the time would they be charged with perjury? If a hitter for the New York Yankees gets a hit only 10% of the time, how long would he last?
If you were only faithful to your wife or husband 10% of the time would you still be married? Or is it that elections that are run honestly and fairly just 10% of the time are what gives us Joe Biden and Katie Hobbs?
Lake said Friday that the county will not allow her team to inspect signatures:
Maricopa County has been illegally outsourcing Signature Verification to a third-party vendor, who uses a threshold of just 10% to qualify signatures as "high-confidence" matches for approval.

.@KariLake: "Our elections are a joke. Signature Verification is a sham. And frankly, Steven Richer and those folks down at Maricopa County, by denying to give us this evidence have proved what we've been saying all along.

Just the News is reporting that Maricopa County is using a highly inaccurate program for counting the votes. Maricopa County denies this and they make the claim that they verify the signatures using “calling, mailing, texting and emailing the voters.”
However, Just the News said former Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright gave the site a copy of a contract that is currently between Maricopa County and Runbeck.
The contract said:
“Signatures sent to Runbeck “are assigned a score based on the verification; signatures with a score of 10 or higher are routed to a high-confidence manual signature verification queue, and signatures with a lower score are routed to a low-confidence signature verification queue.”
One catch: That’s 10 on a scale of 0 to 100, the report said, citing 2020 emails between Maricopa County officials and a Runbeck employee. In other words, the software has high confidence that a signature that scores as low as 10 out of 100 is genuine.
The report said a Maricopa Couty officials’ email noted that only readings “lower than 10” are “not marked as Accepted by Verus Pro.”
Maricopa County “won’t admit to using the software,” but contracts show a different reality, Wright said.
The 2022 contract also includes “the ability to turn Signature Verification on or off.”
The contract calls for processing “at least 3,600 signatures/hour” with the ability to “correctly assess if a signature is present on at least 80% of inbound images” on early ballot envelopes.
Maricopa County has not told Just the News what the Verus Pro services is used for if not for signature verification, the site reported.
Shelby Busch, co-founder of We the People AZ, said the verification software is “absolutely pertinent” to Lake’s case.
