“The FBI said Wednesday that its agents are joining a criminal investigation into an alleged security breach of a rural Colorado county’s voting equipment,” the Associated Press reports.
“The federal probe comes after Colorado’s Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) alerted federal cyber security officials within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of the suspected breach.”
“The federal inquiry adds yet another layer to the political brawl between Griswold and Republican Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters. The feud came to a head last week when Griswold accused Peters of assisting in the security breach by directing staff to turn off video surveillance of its voting equipment before a May 25 software update and allowing a non-employee into the elections office at that time.”
