One of the fake electors in Pennsylvania and a huge Republican Party donor is being accused of not paying a cybersecurity firm he hired to find voter fraud in the 2020 election, revealed Anna Bower, courts correspondent for Lawfare.
Bill Bachenberg is being sued by New York-based cybersecurity company XRVisions for refusing to pay for their services after hiring them. This is the fourth known cybersecurity firm that investigated the 2020 election. Trump hired two firms off the books, Simpatico Software Systems, and Berkeley Research Group, but it was unknown until about a year after the fact. They found no fraud in the 2020 election.
Arizona hired the pro-Trump firm Cyber Ninjas to investigate the state specifically. They too didn't find any election fraud.

The Lehigh Valley News reported that not only was Bachenberg sued, but he allegedly assaulted the process server who attempted to hand him the summons.
Ironically, Bachenberg and Stefanie Lambert hired the company to specifically look at voting machines in Fulton County, Pennsylvania. Fulton County, Georgia is where Donald Trump is facing charges for attempting to overthrow the election in the state.
"In March 2022, Lambert and Bachenberg entered into another agreement to have XRVisions perform a forensic analysis on voting machines in Fulton County, Pa. Lambert represented the county but falsely told XRVisions that she had been authorized to hire the firm," said the report. "After Lambert and Bachenberg expanded the scope of the contract, they were on the hook to pay the company $550,00 for the work, according to the court filing."
The company told the two Republicans that the machines were "highly insecure," but there was no evidence of tampering or that they'd been hacked.
"This report did not find any evidence of election fraud in the 2020 election, and Defendants were furious," the lawsuit states.
It has been a year since the report was issued, but Bachenberg and Lambert still haven't paid the $550,000 due.
