In a statement from Secretary of State John Scott, he noted the software was not directly linked to voting, but did not dismiss how serious the situation was.
The head of that company, earlier this month, was accused of illegally storing names of California poll workers on servers based in China.
Travis Co. Poll Workers were told because of the case in California, Travis County Elections will not use Konnech software to schedule poll workers for the upcoming election in Travis County. The email went on to state: "It is always concerning when any piece of the election infrastructure or its data is potentially compromised, as it has the potential to undermine public confidence in the security of elections. Our elections must be secure and transparent from beginning to end and at every step in the process," stated Scott.
"So if it just happens to be that it's a company where the CEO is not a good individual, that's an overreaction. But if people's voting data gets compromised, then that's indicative of a larger problem," said Smith.
