Kevin Tunell, Communications Director, Yuma County Arizona: “We were left in a bind at the last minute. Our previous Election Night Reporting (ENR) was unavailable and we had just 3 weeks to come to a solution. Scytl stepped up to the plate and had us up and running in time for the election. Not only that, our ENR has never looked better. The technology and support were unexpected. I’m still getting compliments from the public and inquiries from counties from across the State asking, ‘How did you do that?’”
