They put the wrong date on an election notice. They didn't alter election documents. If anything they hurt their base by sending out info which could possibly make their vote not count.

Two pieces of evidence have emerged that solidify allegations of ballot mishandling in Florida’s Broward County after the midterm election.
The evidence lends credence to officials and concerned citizens who have cried foul over some apparent irregularities.
Florida’s secretary of state ordered recounts of six tight races on Nov. 10, including races for senator, governor, and agriculture commissioner. Gov. Rick Scott, who ran for the Senate against incumbent Bill Nelson, called for an investigation on Nov. 8 after Broward and Palm Beach counties kept adding early voting and absentee ballots two days after the deadline stipulated by law.
Given Broward County’s record of irregularities, the election was under close scrutiny and, again, allegations of mishandling emerged.

Question -
When ballots are collected at the end of the day and are shipped to the facility they all get safety zips placed on the box they are put in at the voting location to be transferred to a central location.
The ballot containers -
Has there ever been a time where those containers were ever opened outside of the collection building?
The reason I ask is because investigators in Florida located 12 of those chain of custody zips laying on the ground outside the SoE building.

Actually the source is Politico, which you would know if you ever actually open the referring web page.
But like 90% of ats, you just read a headline and maybe a sentence and then quickly try to make an 'aha!' moment.
The concerns, which the department says can be tied to the Florida Democratic Party, center around date changes on forms used to fix vote-by-mail ballots sent with incorrect or missing information. Known as “cure affidavits,” those documents used to fix mail ballots were due no later than 5 p.m. on Nov. 5 — the day before the election. But affidavits released on Tuesday by the DOS show that documents from four different counties said the ballots could be returned by 5 p.m. on Thursday, which is not accurate.
And no. Not all of a blockchains data is encrypted. But even if it is. As a user. You have a public and private keys. Only one person has the private keys. The user. No one else unless you share it.
data can be stored on blockchains in any combination of three ways:
Unencrypted data – can be read by every blockchain participant in the blockchain and is fully transparent.
Encrypted data – can be read by participants with a decryption key. The key provides access to the data on the blockchain and can prove who added the data and when it was added.
Hashed data – can be presented alongside the function that created it to show the data wasn’t tampered with.

What do you see going on now? A bunch of lawsuits. Recounts that take weeks.
If you're worried about tampering then use blockchain technology. That's tamper proof.
The last time there were issues in Florida were because of punch cards. Now paper ballots. Why must we cling to old ways that clearly don't scale just because, that's the way they did it back in the old days?
