I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but they are following the Constitution in making this decision. The Constitution does not require a conviction.
How can SCOTUS even have jurisdiction when the Constitution specifically gives the power to oversee elections to the States? This seems more like it should require Congress to change the Constitution if the federal government wants the power to supersede the decision of the Supreme Court of Colorado.
Since the Constitution gives management and oversight of elections to the States, does that not mean that the Colorado Supreme Court is the highest court which has jurisdiction on this case?
Studying cybersecurity helps, but you're not likely to get a job in cybersecurity until you have had multiple years of experience in development in a software company, from my experience in the US in the tech industry.
I hope somebody directly within the cybersecurity field can recommend a specific career path, but my anecdotal experience is that you have to work a few years before you will be considered for something security related.
