For the past several weeks, Rio Grande County Clerk and Recorder Cindy Hill has been speaking with Rio Grande County commissioners regarding an update to current elections systems used in Rio Grande County and after the approval to move forward with the update, commissioners requested a work session to answer questions.
Rio Grande County uses Dominion Voting Systems to count ballots and has passed every audit required by the State of Colorado since the voting system installation in 2017.
There was some expectation that a Dominion representative would be at the work session, but according to RG County Administrator Skip Schoen, “they not able to make our chosen time fit with their schedule.” Schoen conveyed this in an email to Valley Publishing.
The purpose of the work session, Shoen explained, with the commissioners was to provide them with information on the upgrade to version 5.17 of the Dominion Democracy Suite. The commissioners and the public were provided a Dominion document describing the product changes included with the system upgrade to version 5.17.
