BPRO, BORN IN SOUTH DAKOTA
From the outside, South Dakota looks like a great place to live and raise a family. The people are welcoming and trusting to a fault. But something has been brewing under the surface in South Dakota that is undermining elections across the country.
BPro was founded in 1985 by a woman named Sandra Bowers, who sold the business to Brandon and Abbey Campea in 2009 who had relocated to South Dakota from Washington State. Before BPro merged with KNOWiNK in 2020, their software was being used in at least fifteen states.

BPro’s office in the tiny city of Pierre, population 15,000, is singularly unimpressive. It is in a non-descript strip mall, across the street from a series of silos, with a marquee mockingly sporting South Dakota’s motto: “Under God, the People Rule.”

Even stranger than its outward appearance, are its posted hours. BPro is open only three days a week between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. It is hard to imagine how BPro adequately supports elections in 15 states, especially during election season, with hours like that. It makes you wonder where the real work is being done and who is really doing it – more on that later.
The origin and proliferation of BPro’s flagship software, TotalVote, is another enigma – that stinks of corruption and backroom deals where the people ultimately lose.
