The latest salvo from the left in the ongoing ‘unpersoning’ of anyone (on the right) who questions election integrity fell flat on its face in less than a day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, the New York Times<\/em> framed a story circulating on the right over a software company’s connection with the Chinese Communist Party as a “right-wing conspiracy theory.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“At an invitation-only conference in August at a secret location southeast of Phoenix, a group of election deniers unspooled a new conspiracy theory about the 2020 presidential outcome,” was the Times’ original lede (via the Daily Caller<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In it, the Times<\/em> wrote that “right-wing” election deniers in Arizona had fabricated a conspiracy theory that election software company Konnech had secret ties to the CCP, and was passing them information on around two million US poll workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the two years since former President Donald J. Trump lost his re-election bid, conspiracy theorists have subjected election officials and private companies that play a major role in elections to a barrage of outlandish voter fraud claims,” reads the article. “But the attacks on Konnech demonstrate how far-right election deniers are also giving more attention to new and more secondary companies and groups. Their claims often find a receptive online audience, which then uses the assertions to raise doubts about the integrity of American elections.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning, Konnech executive Eugene Yu was arrested<\/a> for the alleged theft of poll workers’ personal information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
