Colorado secretary of state reveals voting equipment passwords were posted online for 4 months

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold revealed voting equipment passwords were posted online for four months before being noticed and taken down in a concerning security breach ahead of the election.

Griswold, a Democrat, said the passwords were posted on June 21 and were taken down on Oct. 24. 

A former staff member created a spreadsheet that contained the passwords in a hidden tab. The spreadsheet was then posted on the Colorado Department of State's subpage for voting system equipment, Griswold's office said.
