After Election Firm CEO’s Arrest, Republicans Push to Terminate Contract With Georgia County
Dan M. Berger | October 7, 2022ATLANTA, Ga.—
Local Republicans in Atlanta were tarred last month as “election deniers” and “conspiracy theorists” for expressing concerns about Konnech, an election subcontractor with alleged Chinese links.
The DeKalb County Elections Board disregarded the concerns and finalized a contract with Konnech.
But in a stunning turn of events, the company’s CEO Eugene Yu was arrested by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office earlier this week for allegedly storing the data of Los Angeles County elections workers in China in violation of its contract with the county.
Now, DeKalb County’s Republican Chairwoman Marci McCarthy is requesting the county Elections Board to terminate its contract with Konnech.
“The DeKalb Board of Elections is exposing County taxpayers to extraordinary legal risk and financial liability if they cannot enforce the terms of the contract with Konnech—which guarantees that Konnech stores the data in the Continental United States in a certified Microsoft Azure hosting facility,” McCarthy said in a letter to the five-member board. . .

Note that these are local (i.e grass roots) Republicans that are waging this fight as State GOP officials remain silent, offering zero support.
