ESS pcAnywhere Remote Access Software Installed on EMS Systems (US)

Established Fact

Election Systems & Software (ESS) admitted in a 2018 letter to Sen. Ron Wyden that it had installed pcAnywhere remote access software on election management systems sold to customers between 2000 and 2006, directly contradicting its prior public representations that it had never done so. ESS refused to disclose which states and counties received affected systems.
