Colorado’s Democratic secretary of state Jena Griswold is requesting more information about a potential election security breach by Douglas county’s Republican clerk and recorder Merlin Klotz.
This makes Klotz the third GOP election official in Colorado under investigation for their alleged handling of sensitive election technology.
Griswold said her office became aware of a social media post from last October in which Klotz wrote, “we, as always, took a full image backup of our server before a trusted build was done this year.”
The trusted build is a regular process every county goes through after an election, in which the makers of its election equipment update the operating system. Douglas is one of two counties in the state whose equipment is supplied by a company called Clear Ballot. The rest of Colorado uses technology from Dominion Voting Systems, based in Denver.
