Maricopa County supervisors are poised to award a national consulting firm a $400,000 contract for another review of the county’s often-scrutinized election procedures.
County procurement staff is recommending that the supervisors vote Wednesday to award the contract to BerryDunn, an accounting and consulting firm that has examined Maricopa’s election procedures in the past. The yearlong review will cover six main processes, but won’t include a look at past election results.
Supervisors Chairman Thomas Galvin has repeatedly made a point to differentiate this review from the controversial “audit” of Maricopa County’s 2020 election results commissioned by top Republicans in the state Senate. “There will be no Cyber Ninjas here,” Galvin said in January, referring to the company Republican leaders hired for that review, adding, “We are going to look at reputable companies.”
