A top Democrat official has made a shocking admission about the recently discovered Colorado voting machine password leak.
As Slay News previously reported, Democrat officials in Colorado are facing backlash after voting machine passwords were leaked to the public.
Colorado’s Democrat Secretary of State Jena Griswold, the state’s top election official, confirmed that the passwords were leaked online and available publicly for four months before the issue was discovered in October.
The Libertarian Party of Colorado has filed a lawsuit to decommission the voting machines that were potentially compromised.
The Trump campaign also issued a call last week to pause ballot processing.
The passwords were publicly available from June until late October.
A vendor flagged the breach to state officials in October.
A former employee who left “amicably” had shared the passwords on Griswold’s website in a hidden tab.
Adding to public concern, Griswold kept the breach hidden from the public for five days after it was discovered on October 24.
Griswold also kept county clerks in the dark about the issue.
The public didn’t find out about the problem until the state’s Republicans raised the alarm last week.
Despite the serious breach, Griswold has refused to resign.
Both Griswold and Democrat Governor Jared Polis have downplayed the leak and asserted that Colorado’s elections are secure.
Griswold trotted out an excuse Monday for hiding the breach from voters.
She claims she kept the leak hidden because she was reluctant to fuel “disinformation” about the election.
“Making this public without understanding the size and scope of the disclosure, and without having a concrete plan for determining our technical and outreach strategy, would run contrary to cybersecurity best practices and carried a significant risk of fueling the major disinformation environment that surrounds elections today,” Griswold said in the statement.
Griswold supported the failed effort to remove President Trump from the ballot in Colorado.
The move was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court earlier this year.
Last month, Griswold also celebrated the 9-year sentence for Tina Peters.
Peters is the pro-Trump former Mesa County Clerk convicted of breaching election equipment in 2021.
“We will not allow anyone to threaten our elections,” Griswold said at the time.
“Colorado’s elections are the nation’s gold standard.”
“I am proud of how we have responded to the first insider elections breach in the nation, and look forward to another secure and successful election in November.”
The Left can’t guarantee basic election security.
However, Democrats are still demanding blind trust in the process anyway.
And they have the audacity to lecture us about “democracy?”
The best way to fight back is to vote hard.
Tell ten people you know to make sure they vote.
Tell those voters to tell ten other people the same thing.
Make it too big to rig.
