Craig Latimer

Supervisor of Elections Craig Latimer said the unauthorized user accessed information including social security or driver's license numbers.

The incident did not impact the county's voter registration or ballot tabulation systems.

The state legislature passed a law in 2021 that limits mail-in ballots to one per election cycle.

Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Craig Latimer says so far, there have been no instances of early voting intimidation that's been seen in other states like Arizona.

Early voting will run through Aug. 21, two days before the Florida primary election.

So far, more than 321,000 voters in Hillsborough County have requested mail-in ballots.

Advocacy groups claim the bill will impose unconstitutional burdens on voters, especially people of color and voters with disabilities.

Two bills recently filed in the state legislature seek to give every local elections supervisor the option to operate countywide polling sites on Election Day, instead of restricting voters to designated precinct sites.

They say the proposal would force them to spend a lot of money notifying voters to renew their absentee ballot requests every year.

While some states can't even begin to start counting mailed-in ballots until Election Day, Florida has been doing it for weeks. That means there will be a lot of results in by Tuesday night — but they won't be official yet.
