Colorado scrambles to change voting-system passwords after accidental leak

“The goal is to complete the password updates by this evening,” government says.

Griswold told Colorado Public Radio that her department has no reason to believe the passwords were posted with malicious intent, but said that "a personnel investigation will be conducted by an outside party to look into the particulars of how this occurred." State GOP Chairman Dave Williams said the incident "represents significant incompetence and negligence, and it raises huge questions about password management and other basic security protocols at the highest levels within Griswold's office." Republicans in the state House "and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert are the same folks who have spread conspiracies and lies about our election systems over and over and over again," Griswold told Colorado Public Radio.
