FBI joins investigation into QAnon-affiliated leak of voting machine logins in Colorado

(CNN)The FBI Denver field office has joined a Colorado district attorney's investigation into the County Clerk's office and how voting machine logins from the county wound up in a QAnon-affiliated video, an FBI spokeswoman told CNN.

Voting machine logins from Mesa County were featured in an August 3 video posted on a QAnon-affiliated Telegram ​channel about 2020 election fraud claims.

In a press conference last week, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold blamed Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters for the leak, saying the secretary of state's office could not establish a verifiable chain of custody ​for the machines, and that Peters brought a "non-employee" to a May 25 "trusted build" meeting where closely guarded voting machine login credentials were visible to attendees. Griswold said her employees had been misled to believe that the "non-employee" in question was a county employee.

Griswold's office said Monday that the secretary of state would appoint a new person to oversee elections in Mesa County.

One inconspicuous person with the right access to the right code for a brief moment. And poof, the whole vote for a whole county is compromised. And if anyone thinks this was the only county in the country where it happened, I have a dehumidifier franchise in Death Valley to sell you. I'm betting a few county clerks on duty in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania in 2016 could use a little closer scrutiny as well.

She blew the whistle…on her self.

Having passwords to protect BIOS setings is….something.
