Copies of Dominion Voting Systems software used for designing ballots, configuring voting machines and tallying results were distributed at an event this month in South Dakota .

The software copies came from voting equipment in Mesa county , Colorado , and Antrim county , Michigan , where Trump allies challenged results last fall .

The release gives hackers a “practice environment” to probe for vulnerabilities and a road map to avoid defenses.

Antrim county’s Dominion voting systems were turned over to Cyber Ninjas in May .

Arizona 's top election official determined they could not be used again and ordered new ones.

There was no information about who was given access, whether those people had passed background checks or were asked to sign non-disclosure agreements.
