Colorado elections workers crisscrossed the state over the past week to update voting-machine logins after their secret passwords were accidentally posted online for several months. State officials said they were confident no one tampered with the machines after discovering the password breach and that votes would be safe.

Colorado Deputy Secretary of State Chris Beall testified that he would not call the password leak a “security breach.” DENVER — A Denver District Court judge will decide if 34 of Colorado’s 64 counties need to count election ballots by hand following the leak of voting machine passwords.
