A box containing hundreds of ballots from Miami-Dade County was discovered on the side of Florida’s Turnpike after reportedly falling from an unsecured county truck.
The alarming event, confirmed by the Miami-Dade Elections Department, occurred late Monday night, prompting immediate concerns over election security.
Dashcam footage and cellphone videos captured by concerned citizens reveal the containers strewn across the roadway at Exit 11, near Cutler Bay.
The footage shows the clearly labeled parcels, complete with county barcodes and tracking paperwork meant for managing paper ballots.
A vigilant driver who stumbled upon the abandoned ballots took it upon himself to deliver the items directly to a county police station.
WATCH:
Christina White, the county’s elections supervisor, stated that the mishap was due to a failure on the part of the county worker responsible for transporting the ballots, according to the Miami Herald.
“The worker forgot to lock the back of the truck and as they drove off, one sealed bin and one sealed bag fell out,” Christina White said on Tuesday.
White maintained that both containers were sealed upon inspection and that no tampering had occurred, asserting that the ballots had already been scanned and counted.
“Upon arrival at the police department, Election staff verified all seals were intact and nothing was tampered with or damaged,” White told Miami Herald.
“Thankfully, this was observed in real time by upstanding citizens who did the right thing and turned the bin and bag into the police department,” White said.
White quickly announced the dismissal of the employee responsible, stating, “While unintentional, the Elections Department has zero tolerance for error and therefore the employee was terminated.”

Yes!!!
Election Security = Unicorns
Same thing
“being STREWN across the roadway/intersection”
This makes it sound like the ballots themselves were all over the highway, not that the intact box and bag were there. Either way, it is still terrible.
Clemenza, was that you?
Heard on WTIC 1080 radio (Hartford, CT) today to “not expect returns from Bridgeport, CT until well after midnight” on election night.
The Deep Blue State of Connecticut doesn’t really matter in the scheme of things however. Bridgeport has proven to be one of the very worst of the Blue cities for ballot stuffing and all forms of cheating. Some things never change. 🙄
We have no races here in CT that matter that are affected by Bridgeport.
The mayoral candidates usually rob and steal from each other and the local Democratic congress-critter will win by twenty percentage points or so as will the dirtball gun-grabbing jerk US Senator who shall not be named.
This like having a bag of money fall out of the armored truck.
And this reminds me. Does anyone know if the banks still require that people have to prove that they are who they say they are to withdraw money from the bank. Or is it considered racist to do so for things like bank withdrawals or voting.
i just bought one from Sportsmans guide for 20 dollars to use as a yard table. Folds up into a brief case.
Probably fake ballots marked Dem so now these poor ballots MUST be counted. SCAM
Must’ve been a turnip truck
