    It’s hard to have proper cyber security in an organization of any significant size. It sounds like all the proper steps are being followed and the good security protocol and practice are being followed making this a non-issue because of the response and other procedure in place.

    I’m just sad and tired about how voting in under attack in the news and courts driven by the republican party.

    This is literally the worst I have seen. I sincerely wonder if the red scare era in history was worse, or now is.

    The department’s statement said the two passwords for each component “are kept in separate places and held by different parties” and that the “passwords can only be used with physical in-person access to a voting system.” Additionally, “clerks are required to maintain restricted access to secure ballot areas, and may only share access information with background-checked individuals. No person may be present in a secure area unless they are authorized to do so or are supervised by an authorized and background-checked employee.”

    The department also cited “strict chain of custody requirements that track when a voting systems component has been accessed and by whom,” and it said that each “Colorado voter votes on a paper ballot, which is then audited during the Risk Limiting Audit to verify that ballots were counted according to voter intent.”

    Goal is to change all passwords by this evening

        Honestly, when the Boomers start dying off. They are burning all of the other generations out of spite and the pendulum will swing hard once they are gone.

          I like to think you’re right but I’m afraid their broken ideals have been passed down in generations and the problem won’t be fixed with their deaths.

        When everything is back to preindustrial technology and making a fire is the hardest thing we have to do.
