Prince William drops PollChief software after tech exec’s arrest, ties to China, 2020 Election suspicion


Prince William County stopped using voting software following the arrest of a Chinese tech executive who has come under suspicion of identity theft and tied to problems during the 2020 General Election.

According to an email from the Prince William County Office of Elections, obtained by Potomac Local News, the county had used a cloud-based Web interface called PollChief developed by tech firm Konnech that manages election officer data. Under our contract, the company's data servers were stated to be in the U.S., in Michigan and California.

Konnech Corporation CEO Eugene Yu was taken into custody Tuesday, October 4, following an investigation by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office on suspicion of theft of personal identifying information. Instead of housing data in the U.S., investigators believe it was sent to China.
