Just hours after a third party investigation found the Secretary of State’s Office “unintentionally” violated policy in posting a spreadsheet with election equipment passwords, Democrats on the Colorado General Assembly’s Legislative Audit Committee rejected calls for an audit of that breach.
The committee is evenly between Democrats and Republicans; hence, the potential for a tie vote.
And the panel killed the proposal along party lines, with Democrats balking at the request and Republicans supporting it. The committee voted, 4-4, dooming the audit request.
