A right-wing influencer has released 2022 messages from a private Telegram group chat showing that QAnon figures seemingly coordinated efforts to target Konnech, an election software company, and have election denial organization True the Vote convey their supposed “intel” to law enforcement.
In 2022, True the Vote collaborated with QAnon influencers, with QAnon figures working on some of the organization’s projects, and its leadership appearing on QAnon-affiliated shows and lauding the supposed research abilities of the “Anons” (a term for QAnon supporters), including floating the idea that True the Vote would pass along Anons’ supposed research to law enforcement and sheriffs groups that partnered with the organization.
As part of that collaboration, True the Vote invited multiple QAnon influencers to attend an event during the weekend of August 12, 2022, called “The Pit” dedicated to providing supposedly “devastating” evidence of election fraud. At the event, True the Vote’s leadership, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, turned over to QAnon attendees supposed evidence of nefarious behavior by Konnech, an election software company, and asked them to “start connecting dots” and look further into the company.
Now, messages sent less than two weeks after the event have been released that further detail how QAnon figures coordinated to target Konnech. On May 6, a right-wing influencer known online as “GusQuixote” posted a screenshot of Telegram chat logs from a group called “Pit Crew Think Tank,” likely a reference to The Pit. The logs seemingly featured messages from GusQuixote and QAnon figures “Red Pill Babe” and “The Authority.” In the weeks following the event and the messages, True the Vote endorsed all three of those figures on a stream, and even tasked The Authority to “tak[e] over a lot of ... the True the Vote research activities.” GusQuixote’s May 6 post also seemingly claimed regarding the Telegram group chat, “There were 50 of us. 10 worked. 20 talked. 20 watched.”

After The Pit, in the days both before and after those private messages were sent, True the Vote praised and shared what the QAnon community had supposedly found on Konnech, and in September 2022, Phillips suggested that True the Vote had passed this supposed research on Konnech from the QAnon community to law enforcement, including to a “particular county in California.”
Right-wing election denialist group True The Vote collaborated with QAnon influencers called Pit Crew Think Tank that originated on Telegram.
I just started reading a new book. I found a place where I can borrow books from in Nkhata Bay, a sort of library in the reception of a popular lodge I'm volunteering at (Butterfly Lodge/Space). I'm very glad to have found a place I can exchange books from. I'll be reading like the old days from now on. This gem is called Moon Over Minneapolis Or Why She Couldn't Stay by Faye Weldon
