Y'know. I'm just going to glue my hand to my forehead at this point. I just. I can't go half a day without assuming the position.
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.
"Accidental"
Well, that's a dumb password.
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
no matter what happens on tuesday you just know 2028 is gonna be this but 10x worse. And 2032 will be 10x worse than that
When do we loop back around to everything is chill vibes?
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.
Oops.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
