The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office inadvertently posted a spreadsheet to its website with a hidden tab that included voting system passwords.

In a statement to 9NEWS, a spokesperson for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said that “the Department is working to remedy this situation where necessary.”

On Tuesday morning, Colorado Republican Party Vice Chair Hope Scheppelman shared the hidden tab discovery in a mass email, along with an affidavit from someone who claims they had downloaded the Excel file from the Colorado Secretary of State’s website and discovered the hidden tab by simply clicking “unhide.” The name on the affidavit was blacked out in the Republican Party email.

The passwords that were in the hidden tab are known as BIOS passwords and are one part of the security process for Colorado’s voting machines.

You know what doesn't require passwords?

Paper ballots.

This woman sounds like she is material for Liberal POTUS nominee.

BREAKING: The Colorado Libertarian Party just sued to force the entire state to decommission all voting machines and move to a total hand count of the ballots after Jena Griswold LEAKED the passwords

They point out that machines were decommissioned in the past for the exact same nature of leaks, "On August 12, 2021, the Secretary issued Election Order 2021-02, which ordered the decommissioning of 41 voting system components in Mesa County affected by the exposure of the BIOS passwords, forcing the purchase of new equipment at the county’s expense."

The lawsuit is conclusive, and any judge who isn't compromised will side with them. Even if a judge doesn't, at least there's now legal scrutiny on the corrupt Secretary instead of just powerless letters.

Shoutout to the @LPCO for being so quick on their feet.

Incompetence or ill intent? That is always the primary question.

This gives them plausible deniability if any machine related shenanigans are uncovered this election. "Oh whoops, the passwords were hacked!"

Another ill intent could be a LIHOP situation. Leak the passwords, let someone else do the dirty work. Similar to the first Trump assassination attempt.

Then again, Occam's Razor points to incompetence, and just watching this woman speak would back up that hypothesis.

Am I the only one gets the same vibe from this woman as Biden's Disinformation Czar?

Ill intent? Impossible!

Jena Griswold is trying to save our democracy, and has clearly expressed her fierce and conscientious dedication to "lead[ing] the way in protecting our [...] election systems" (to repeat her very own words). Thus, I am fully confident that she will not rest until she gets to the bottom of this security beach, and that she will hold all those responsible fully accountable.

Anyone who suggests otherwise is obviously just a conspiracy-theorizing ne'er-do-well - and probably an election denier, to boot!

We're probably going to get more stories similar to this in other states over the next few days.

Luddite? I haven't even gotten to my idea for using stone and chisel. That would be ultra-secure. Plus, if you're not willing to stand there for a few hours, crafting your ballot to be at least halfway legible, then IMO you shouldn't be voting.

Hammer and chisel? How about dung-flinging? Your polling place could have a picture of each candidate on the wall...the face covered in the most excrement is declared winner.

Could work. That's basically how the farmers did it in Brussels when they were spraying manure all around the EU HQ.

Now that's the kind of "voting" I can enthusiastically endorse without reservation!
