Scytl has acquired 100% of SOE Software (www.soesoftware.com), the leading software provider of election management solutions in the United States. The integration of these two software companies creates the industry leader in the election software market with a full range of solutions covering from Internet voting to election night reporting and online pollworker training, and a strong market presence worldwide.
Contract with Wise County, TX:
https://wisecountytx.gov/DocumentCenter/View/883/SOE-Software—Agreement-PDF
Quick scan, says Scytl will provide hosting for Software, looks like they restrict access to it, hosting of SOFTWARE in SCYTL's servers in a Cloud Hosted Data Center rented by SCYTL located in the US.
Knowing that what is said and not said in contracts is what's important,"hosting" may not mean it's not "routed" other places before landing in the "rented" servers? Possible?

More patents we can't see because their proprietary? Who has those patents?

County approves grant for election software, additional costs
"With additional election costs related to an extended period of early voting this year because of the pandemic, Parker County will see a little bit of relief with the help of an almost $55,000 grant.
Commissioners Tuesday authorized County Judge Pat Deen to sign for and accept funds from the Center for Tech and Civic Life COVID-19 Response Grant in the amount of $54,072 to be used in the elections office……
….. Miller had also requested authorization to declare SOE Software Corporation dba Scytl as the sole source for the purchase of Election Night reporting software.
The software itself would be $12,676, Rivas told commissioners, and would be a grant purchase.
"Crickett requested this purchase from Civic software in lieu of having people waiting at the annex for Election Night results," Rivas said. "This will report all those on a website, from what I understand."
