"Colorado Accidentally Put Voting System Passwords Online, but Officials Say Election Is Secure"
Colorado state election officials recently announced that voting system passwords were mistakenly put on the Colorado Secretary of State's website for several months before being spotted and taken down. The state election officials said the lapse did not pose an immediate threat to the upcoming election. It was noted that the passwords were only one of two needed to access any component of Colorado's voting systems and are just one part of a layered security system. The two passwords are "kept in separate places and held by different parties."
