FL: Thousands of voters’ personal information left in dumpster

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Dissent

Michael George reports that  1,000 to 2,000 voters’ petitions were dumped, unshredded,  in a dumpster in Hillsborough County.

… The petitions are essentially meaningless, since Norman got on the ballot anyway, but they contained voters’ names, voter registration numbers, addresses, dates of birth, political affiliation, and signature.

[…]

So who dumped the petitions? The Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections’ office says they never received any petitions.

Senator Norman’s office did not immediately return calls for comment on Monday.

Read more on ABC Action News.

Note that this may not be necessarily any violation of law. The state AG’s office is looking into it.
