Colorado investigates password leak from voting system; controversy over handling ensues.

The Denver District Attorney's office is investigating a leak of voting system passwords on a Colorado state website. The leak, described as an accident by Secretary of State Jena Griswold, involved passwords that could only be used in person in secure rooms. Despite claims the leak posed no immediate threat, the Colorado GOP and some county clerks have criticized Griswold's handling of the incident, with some calling for her resignation. Audio recordings show her office delayed informing county clerks about the leak, fearing a media storm.
