Colorado’s election breach exposes partisan secretary of state

The Colorado secretary of state who pushed to keep former President Donald Trump off the state’s ballot now faces heat for an election security breach in her own office.

Sensitive BIOS passwords for election tabulation computers in 63 of Colorado’s 64 counties were inadvertently leaked on the secretary of state’s website — buried in a hidden Excel spreadsheet tab with hundreds of passwords that anyone could unhide. The document, taken down last week, had been online for months.
