On Wednesday, the LA County district attorney dropped charges against the CEO of Konnech, which makes scheduling software for poll workers.
Eugene Yu, CEO of the Michigan-based firm Konnech, was charged in mid October with illegally storing the personal information of poll workers on Chinese servers, a violation of its contract with LA County. Konnech has provided its PollChief software to cities and counties across the country, including a $2.9 million contract with Los Angeles County.
On Wednesday, the district attorney's office said that it had moved to dismiss the case. A judge in Los Angeles Superior Court granted the motion without prejudice. "We are concerned about both the pace of the investigation and the potential bias in the presentation and investigation of the evidence," spokesperson Tiffiny Blacknell said in a statement. The county did indicate that it hasn't ruled out refiling the charges after reviewing the evidence, saying it would"assemble a new team, with significant cyber security experience to determine whether any criminal activity occurred.
In a statement, Yu's defense attorney Gary Lincenberg called him an"innocent man," adding."Mr. Yu's good name was tarnished by false narratives from fringe conspiracy theorists who bragged about enlisting Los Angeles prosecutors to further their political agenda."

Data was housed on a server in China. The court did not disprove that with a 'dismissal.'
How is a court dropping charges proof that the election fraud didn't happen? The courts did the 'dismissed for standing' and Dems misrepresented what it meant.
'Prominent election deniers?' Are these better then unknown election deniers?
I’m Disgusted with NPR… just disgusted. You hacks have the stones to face jail to protect your sources? Pathetic!
Election deniers…
'You're not allowed to investigate any foreigners unless you're R-r-r-racist!'
Oh, well LA county dismissed the charges, totally above board.
