Florida Election Worker Fired After Ballots Fall Off Truck

Sealed ballots, already scanned and tabulated, were safely returned by a passerby after being found on a Miami-Dade road.

The Miami-Dade County Elections Department confirmed that containers with hundreds of ballots fell from a truck due to human error.
All ballots were already scanned and tabulated before the incident, ensuring no impact on the election results.
A passerby found the sealed containers on the roadside and took them to a police station, where they were verified as intact.
The elections supervisor emphasized that none of the ballots were tampered with or damaged.
The employee responsible for the oversight was terminated, reflecting the department's zero tolerance for such errors.
