The founder and CEO of an elections technology company targeted by election deniers was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of stealing poll worker data.
Eugene Yu, 51, of Konnech Corporation, was arrested in Meridian Township in Michigan on Tuesday and held on suspicion of theft of personal identifying information, Los Angeles County district attorney George Gascón said in a statement.
The district attorney's office is seeking his extradition to California.
Computer hard drives and other "digital evidence" were seized by investigators from the LA County district attorney's office.
Yu's company, Konnech, is based in East Lansing, Michigan. It distributes PollChief software to track poll worker schedules, communications and payroll.
The software requires workers to submit personal identifying information, which is retained by Konnech.
Under a five-year, $2.9 million contract with LA County, Konnech was supposed to securely maintain the data in the U.S. and only provide access to citizens and permanent residents.
But investigators found information was stored on servers in the People's Republic of China, the district attorney's office said.
Gascón didn't specify what specific information was allegedly taken.
But he said the investigation only involved the personal identifying information of election workers, and that "the alleged conduct had no impact on the tabulation of votes and did not alter election results."
"But security in all aspects of any election is essential so that we all have full faith in the integrity of the election process," Gascón said.
"We are continuing to ascertain the details of what we believe to be Mr. Yu's wrongful detention by LA County authorities," Konnech said in a statement, according to The Associated Press.

“Election deniers”? Oh yeah? Well better election deniers than “Stolen Election Deniers” like yourselves MSN! The Election was stolen, and you all deny it despite mounting evidence that it was

"Who Chinese spy"
Word (rumor?) is that the authorities got “Eugene’s” cell phone, which showed he has had very significant contacts with the Chinese Communist Party.
But of course, the CCP have been interested in and kept track of only the contact information for American folks that worked the polls. Nothing more!
Yu and Konnech—which has 21 employees in the U.S. and six in Australia—became the target of claims by a group of election deniers that the company had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had supplied information about 2 million poll workers.
These evil people never stop, even when an arrest is made.
The guy came to the USA in 2000 and then immediately setup a company to monitor voting?
Who does this in the real world?
It matches the beginning of strange things beginning to happen since 2001 election.
With the entire database in China, he could hire thousands there to fill out ballots and with the 30 day window in many of our elections, fly them back to USA and easily get them counted in time.
Plus its outside the USA so beyond the observation of the FBI.
Another plus is local gov in the USA fund the operation.
I consider this highly plausible but also unlikely investigation will go anywhere.
If it is real (and I think likely), the guy will simply have an accident, the files will vanish and poof, gone.
Btt
When I first heard this complicated story on Charlie Kirk, I eventually understood the connect the dots. This, I think is the thing that brings the corruption to light or actually brings All the scumbags down. Anybody here know what LA DA Gascon has done with him, yet, or has he been disappeared?
This is either a modified limited hangout or a red herring...
