Letter to Voters regarding security breach (text version)
January 2, 2008
Dear Voter:
Pursuant to T.C.A. § 47-18-2107, the Davidson County Election Commission is notifying you that there was a breach of the security of the data in the Office of the Davidson County Election Commission and personal information about you is reasonably believed to have been acquired by an unauthorized person. The breach of the security resulted from a break-in of the Offices of the Davidson County Election Commission on December 24, 2007. The voter registration list of Davidson County was stolen. We believe that your name, address and full social security number was contained on this list. You should notify any agency of this loss of your personal information as you deem necessary.
The following consumer reporting agencies are being notified of this loss
