Overbeck: What happens when Democrat Sec. of State Griswold’s office leaks secret election passwords?   Pretty much nada

By Joy Overbeck  | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Just a few days before the Nov. 5 election, Colorado voters learned that Democrat Secretary of State Jena Griswold’s office had posted critical election machine passwords online, passwords that could make hundreds of Dominion voting machines in most of the state’s 64 counties vulnerable to outside meddling.

The bill would also increase sentences for the worst predators using menacing or criminal intimidation – that is, violence or threats of violence – to induce a child to commit prostitution to at least eight years in jail.
