Colorado’s blitz to update all voting machine passwords and verify security ahead of next week’s election has been completed, Gov. Jared Polis announced Friday morning.
“Every Coloradan can rest assured that their vote will be counted fairly and accurately. While the leaked passwords compromised just one of many layers of security that protect our election integrity in Colorado, we knew it was critical to take swift action,” Polis said.
The breach won’t affect how ballots are counted, gubernatorial officials said Friday morning.
State officials didn’t respond to questions about how many county clerk offices teams visited on Thursday and haven’t said whether the state would halt mail ballot processing or re-scan mail ballots.
The state teams went into county offices and worked in pairs, observed by local county elections officials, state agency officials said.
Polis and Griswold repeated assertions that the disclosure of passwords did not and will not pose a security threat to Colorado’s elections.
