Colorado Secretary of State Faces Calls to Resign Over Election Security Breach

Jena Griswold acknowledges voting system passwords were exposed online for months, raising concerns about election integrity.

A spreadsheet containing passwords for voting equipment in 63 of Colorado's 64 counties was publicly accessible on the state's website for four months.
The breach was discovered on October 24, but it was not publicly disclosed until the Republican Party brought it to light on October 29.
Griswold stated that the passwords have been updated and election system security has been verified with the help of state and federal agencies.
Critics, including former Secretary of State Scott Gessler, have called for an immediate halt to ballot processing in affected counties to ensure election integrity.
Despite assurances from Griswold and Governor Jared Polis that the breach did not compromise election results, calls for her resignation continue to grow.
