True The Vote Files Motion to Inspect Konnech's Servers
And the exhibits put forth in support by True The Vote are VERY revealing
The baselessly controversial election integrity group, True The Vote, filed a Motion to Inspect the servers of Okemos, Michigan election company, Konnech on Friday, announced in a Sunday email press release.
“On Friday, February 25th, True the Vote, Gregg Phillips, and I filed an Emergency Motion to inspect Konnech's electronic devices (specifically, items seized by Los Angeles County law enforcement during their October 2022 raid on Konnech properties in Michigan).
If this is the first you’ve heard of this case, here’s more background.
The complete filing is 46 pages long. Please read it. I promise it will be worth your time.
What we have said about Konnech is true. Our elections are at risk. Some of the largest counties in the United States, along with several states, are using software that is being developed in, run from, and monitored by, China. This must be stopped.
Please stand with us - there is a tremendous amount of work yet ahead. We will not back down. We will not quit.”
Highlights
The release also offered some “Key Highlights,” a few of which seem seismic in the ever-developing legal escapades between the dueling organizations.
Motion for Leave
“Defendants have advised the public that Konnech was not only storing personal identifying information of American election workers and American customer data on insecure servers in China, but that it was permitting unvetted nationals based in China access to the China-based servers and to the software itself.”
Exhibit C: Grant Bradley v. Konnech
“In approximately September 2022, following accusations made by True the Vote, Plaintiff began investigating the extent of the information provided by Defendant Konnech to the programmers based out of Wuhan, China. Plaintiff confirmed that Defendants Yu and Konnech had been providing to these Chinese programmers private data of poll workers, to include social security numbers and other personally identifying information.”
Exhibit D: Affidavit of Harry Haury
“During our investigation, Cain & Associates :
a. confirmed multiple instances of Konnech hosting, on servers based in China, U.S. citizens’ personally identifiable information (PII);
b. confirmed thousands of instances of Konnech data, including U.S. citizens’ PII, and software being transferred to and from China;
c. found evidence in Konnech’s private company messages that elections software code was being developed, tested, and maintained in China. “
Exhibit E: Affidavit of Brian Glicklich
“Mr. McAllister indicated that he had seen my appearance on War Room the day before and had information relevant to the imprisonment of Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips…”
“Mr. McAllister told me that on Monday October 10th, someone had started deleting Konnech company emails from a website in Vietnam.“
“… interpretation was that someone at Konnech intended to get rid of any emails with log files that may have gone to China.”
“Mr. McAllister indicated that Eugene’s brother runs a company that provides similar election software to the Chinese Communist Party.”
The damning filing comes after all of the parties involved (yes, Eugene Yu, Engelbrecht, and Phillips, all) being jailed over the matter (at separate times by separate law enforcement) in what has become a tragic national comedy in the most despicable ways.

Rumblings on Twitter Saturday seemed to indicate Eugene Yu had already mobilized his effort to quash the ugly truths around his business practices and relationships since his company’s founding.
(Now I wonder who this guy is connected to with Konnech)
Still-Active Investigation in Los Angeles
No matter what unfolds, it will assuredly be both interesting and telling to watch what moves the parties make next in the case, as Eugene Yu’s criminal case in Los Angeles County is still active.
It would seem that his upcoming hearing on March 2 may be factoring into the calculus, after Yu’s original charges in LA County were dropped on November 9.
However, a look at the case summary at lacourt.org reveals his case has been very active, with District Attorneys updating the case nearly weekly, then moving to a seemingly monthly pattern.
The most recent hearings have also been listed as “arraignment and plea” hearings which creates an interesting predicament for Yu in regards to his defamation case, as the Motion to Inspect covers the same material wrapped up in Los Angeles County.
***UPDATED***
In a subsequent development, Eugene Yu appealed the overturning of Engelbrecht and Phillips’ contempt ruling on Friday, but that was rejected on Monday.

I read every bit including each affidavit. You do a thorough job for someone who claims he doesn’t get all of the tech aspect of things. Thanks.
