The compromised machines were decertified following a serious "security breach."
In the latest battle over former President Donald Trump’s 2020 election defeat, a Republican county clerk in Colorado has been accused of allowing unauthorized access to voting machine passwords that ended up on the social media account of a QAnon leader. An investigation led by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold concluded that Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters allowed an unidentified, unauthorized individual to attend a software update in May for election equipment made by Dominion Voting Systems. That person allegedly took images of software passwords, which were then posted online early this month, Griswold detailed in a press conference Thursday. Those passwords were shared by conservative blog The Gateway Pundit, according to The Denver Post. In addition, photos and videos of the Dominion software update session were posted on the social media page of influential QAnon leader Ron Watkins, Colorado Public Radio reported.More Related News
