Colorado officials are investigating how passwords to its voting machines ended up on the internet.

The far-left Secretary of State Jenna Griswold is investigating.

The information included passwords to Mesa County's voting machine equipment.

Matt Crane, whose wife works/worked for Dominion, weighed in on the situation.

The Colorado Sun reported:

Colorado state officials are investigating a county election office after passwords for its voting systems were posted online, the Secretary of State announced Monday.

The breach included specific passwords from Mesa County's voting equipment, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a statement.

The passwords were posted on a far-right blog, according to a spokesperson from Griswold's office.

Griswold called it a "a serious breach" in a statement, but said it did not happen during the past election or create any risk to state elections.

It is likely that the passwords were collected during software updates to voting equipment in Mesa County on May 25, 2021, Griswold said.

Officials have asked to inspect the county's election equipment and other relevant materials from the county clerk and recorder. If violations are found, it could lead to a decertification of the county's voting machines…

…The Colorado County Clerks Association said it is aware of the inquiry by Griswold's office "into a potential chain-of-custody and security protocol breach for Mesa County's voting system components to be used for the upcoming 2021 Coordinated Election."
