After Data Is Posted On Conspiracy Site, Colorado County's Voting Machines Are Banned

"Colorado officials said Thursday that a local county clerk allowed an unauthorized person into a secure facility during an annual upgrade to the county's election equipment software, compromising the equipment.

The Mesa County clerk, Tina Peters, could be in legal trouble. She's currently at a conference led by a prominent election conspiracy theorist.

That security breach means Mesa County, in the far western part of the state, will not be able to use the equipment for its fall election. While the unauthorized access did not create an imminent, direct security risk to Colorado's elections, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said her office's investigation confirmed that the unauthorized person did release the passwords for the underlying voting machine software online."

I read that earlier today, too. My first thoughts - doesn't sound like those machines are as secure as claimed, or at least the owners don't think so.

At the August Cyber Symposium, Mesa County Colorado Recorder Tina Peters reported that critical files had been deleted from the county’s Dominion voting systems during a vendor “update.” Prior to the update, Peters created a backup image of the hard drive. A forensic analysis by cybersecurity experts confirms her allegations.


The report found that “elections records… mandated by Colorado law as certification requirements for Colorado voting systems have been destroyed on Mesa County’s voting system by the system vendor and the Colorado Secretary of State’s office.”


The deleted files included the election server databases, adjudication files, log files that track events on the election database management system, log files required to determine whether the system was accessed by an external, unauthorized device, and much more.

And some wonder why no trust. Hard labor for the criminals...minimum.
Would think everyone would want transparency.
Without it our nation is over.

Here is a little more information on the situation in Mesa County Colorado. Secretary of State Griswold needs to be arrested. I am so sick of the people in power who simply think they are above the law a d the rules do not apply to them.


The report proves a simple storyline of events and subsequent implications.

  1. The Destruction of evidence. Destruction of election records, election-related data that’s required to be preserved under federal and state law.
  2. Thousands of election records were destroyed.
  3. Secretary of State Griswold and the vendor deleted the election records.
    1. Through the “Trusted Build” hardware and software election systems update.
    2. By way of Griswold’s approved procedures for the updates.
    3. Due to Griswold’s certified election system configuration. Configurations directed by the Secretary of State were designed to automatically overwrite election data.
  4. The election system was illegally certified. The report stops short of stating Griswold’s certification of the voting systems complete with an election record-destroying configuration was illegal. However, Colorado statute is explicit that the Federal Voting System Standards are mandatory. The SecState’s certification allowed the use of a non-compliant voting system in Colorado elections.
  5. The deleted Election Records eliminate the possibility of a complete forensic election audit. The type of audit SecState Griswold has sought to prohibit by her controversial election rules which were rubber-stamped into law through CO Attorney General Phil Weiser.
