Established Fact
Tyler Technologies is a major direct government contractor providing software services to state and local governments in all 50 states, including voter registration systems and election night result display platforms. Tyler’s election-adjacent role was implicated in the 2020 election cycle when its internal systems were subjected to a ransomware attack in September 2020, six weeks before Election Day, with the company subsequently disclosing suspicious logins to client systems. Tyler Technologies is not, based on available evidence, a subcontractor to electronic voting system vendors; rather, it is a direct contractor to government entities providing data infrastructure that intersects with election administration.
