Metro Police confirmed late Thursday they have recovered the hard drive 
from the laptop computer, containing names and complete Social Security 
numbers for 337,000 registered voters, that was stolen from the Election 
Commission in December.

Police said Election Commission staff viewed and confirmed the information 
stored on the seized hard drive came from the stolen computer that gave 
them the most concern.

Officials did not disclose where the hard drive, a router and other 
computer components were found, citing the ongoing investigation. Police 
do not yet know if any of the other seized equipment - including

stolen from the Election Commission.

Computer experts have begun the process of examining the files and data 
components to determine if they have been accessed or tampered with, 
according to police.
