The Los Angeles County District Attorney announced on Tuesday the arrest of Eugene Yu, the CEO of a small company that makes software for scheduling poll workers and had a contract with L.A. County. District Attorney George Gascón said at a news conference that the contract with the county required the company, Konnech, to securely maintain election worker information on servers in the United States.
Gascón said that in the course of a separate investigation, his office "found probable cause to believe that Konnech allegedly violated this contract by storing critical information that the workers provided on servers in China."
