Colorado Public Radio: The Colorado Secretary of State’s office says a spreadsheet on the department’s website improperly included a tab with partial passwords to certain components of Colorado voting systems, known as BIOS passwords.
“This does not pose an immediate security threat to Colorado’s elections, nor will it impact how ballots are counted,” wrote a spokesman for the office, Jack Todd, in a statement Tuesday.
In the statement, Todd said the sitiuation would not impact how the state’s paper ballots are counted, and listed a number of the safeguards in place that should prevent the partial passwords from being used by unauthorized people to access voting equipment.
