Why did Gascón's office drop charges against Konnech?

I tried to figure out more about what was going on, and couldn’t. (Recall that the L.A. County D.A., George Gascon, is generally a man of the Left, so that’s why his prosecuting the CEO of Konnech, who had been targeted from the Right by True the Vote, seemed so noteworthy.) There is a bit of a follow-up in a Nov. 16 L.A. Times article (paywalled), but it doesn’t seem to reveal much; here’s an excerpt:

Blacknell’s statement indicated that office leadership found problems with the evidence after the arrest was announced.

“During the course of this prosecution, upper-level management became aware of irregularities in how the case was presented,” she said.

In a filing seeking to dismiss the case that was set to go before a judge Nov. 10, [defense lawyer Gary] Lincenberg wrote that the district attorney’s allegations were “at best, a civil breach of contract claim.” Lincenberg argued that the entire filing rested on the provision in the 150-page contract between L.A. County and Konnech that required poll worker data be kept on U.S. servers.

“These facts do not make out an embezzlement charge, and the complaint should be dismissed,” Lincenberg wrote. He added that prosecutors suggested that “Mr. Yu can be prosecuted for embezzlement based on Konnech’s failure to comply with a data security provision of its contract with the County Registrar.”
