Whistleblower Says DA Gascón Illegally Dropped Charges Against CEO of China-Linked Election Software Firm

RedState: A Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles County DA George Gascón’s office has filed a claim alleging that Gascón retaliated against him after he objected to Gascón dropping criminal charges against the CEO of a China-linked election software company for political reasons. In his claim, DDA Eric Neff states that criminal charges against Konnech CEO Eugene Yu were illegally dropped once Gascón realized that the prosecution could help Donald Trump politically and that it would validate the election security concerns of many on the right. Neff’s claim contains disturbing new information about the investigation and its findings that show the charges never should have been dropped.

As RedState readers likely recall, Yu was arrested on October 4, 2022, and Gascón himself held a press conference to gleefully announce Yu’s arrest “in connection with the theft of personal data of Los Angeles County election workers.” The Complaint alleged that Konnech illegally stored the personal identifying information of LA County poll workers on servers in China and used contractors in China on the project. 

Although Konnech’s software doesn’t have anything to do with tabulating votes, the arrest made waves because it validated the election security concerns of many on the right, as opposed to vociferous claims by Democrats that the United States’ computer-based election infrastructure is totally and unquestionably secure.  more here

  1. From the news a few weeks ago: A significant portion of the elite 1% would condone or even engage in cheating to win elections. A poll found that 35% of the elite 1% would rather cheat than lose (fairly), and a staggering 69% of the politically obsessed 1% would rather cheat and win.

    So all’s fair in love an elections.
