Election worker fired after completed ballots fell off truck in Florida [View all]

An election worker in Florida was fired after a sealed bin and sealed bag of ballots fell off a truck, according to local election officials.

The Miami-Dade County Elections Department said Tuesday that the election worker forgot to lock the back of the truck and “as they drove off, one sealed bin and one sealed bag fell out, containing already voted ballots from early voting.”

The department said the Monday incident occurred due to “human error.”

“Upon arrival at the police department, elections staff verified all seals were intact and nothing was tampered with or damaged,” it said in a statement. “Once at Elections Headquarters, all items were accounted for and all seals were once again verified.”
