On Tuesday, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón announced that Eugene Yu, Konnech's CEO, had been arrested in Michigan "as part of an investigation into the possible theft of personal identifying information of LA County election workers" and that the "information was stored on servers in the People's Republic of China."
Konnech distributes and sells its proprietary PollChief software
- It is supposed to securely maintain the data and that only United States citizens and permanent residents have access to it.
- However, in contradiction to the contract, information was stored on servers in the People's Republic of China.
The conference the New York Times described as being filled with "election deniers" was sponsored by True the Vote.
- Using threadbare evidence, or none at all, the group suggested that a small American election software company, Konnech, had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States.
Why is Gascón doing what might seem to be the right thing?
- LA DA’s office seized hard drives that would theoretically store evidence related to information accessed by users in the PRC
- The sole source, multi-million dollar contract was shepherded through the LA County Board of Supervisors by none other than Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, who is under investigation for public corruption/bribery
Jennifer Van Laar is an unapologetic California conservative, sports fanatic, mom of three boys, and grandma to a perfect little girl.
- She worked as a court stenographer for nearly 20 years, including serving as the official court reporter for more than two dozen first-degree murder cases in North Carolina.
