By James Gavato | KOAA-TV NBC-5 Colorado Springs

An exchange between the Adams County Clerk Josh Zygielbaum and Christopher Beall, the Colorado Deputy Secretary of State took place on November 1 after a civil servant from the Secretary of State’s office posted partial passwords to voting systems online.

It happened during a phone between the Secretary of State’s Office and several county clerks. During the call, Beall admits the secretary of state’s office did not want to disclose that passwords to Colorado voting systems were mistakenly posted online to avoid a ‘media storm.’

“It’s really hard not answering media questions the way I actually want to,” said Zygielbaum.
