Ballot box found on side of the road after falling off Florida election worker's truck, officials say [NBCChicGo] Video shows a passerby who found items and turned them into Miami-Dade Police A Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections employee has been fired after a ballot bin and bag fell off the worker's truck and was found by a passerby in an incident that was caught on camera. Video posted by Only in Dade showed the passerby finding the items near the Florida's Turnpike and 211th Street in Cutler Bay. "That's sealed, look at that," a man says in the video. "That's crazy." Later in the video, the items are seen being turned in to Miami-Dade Police. The man who found the items, Lazaro Padron, said he was driving near South Dade Regional Library, which is an early voting site, when he noticed the bin and bag in the middle of the road. "I was really surprised, I never thought I was gonna find that," Padron told NBC6. "I talked to the Department of Homeland Security and the boss from the elections and they talked to me and congratulated me for what I did." Miami-Dade's deputy supervisor of elections Roberto Rodriguez called it "human error," saying the worker forgot to lock the back of the truck and as they drove off, the sealed bin and sealed bag fell out. The bin and bag contained already voted ballots from early voting, Rodriguez said. Rodriguez said the person who saw the items fall from the truck turned them in to police, and elections staff verified that all seals were intact and nothing was tampered with or damaged. "We were able to verify that both the bin and the bag were both sealed, and we confirmed that nothing was tampered with," Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Christina White said. "I do want our voters to know that this was a very isolated incident." Rodriguez added that while the incident was unintentional, the department has zero tolerance for error and the employee was fired.

| #2 Curiously, the containers look like autodump garbage bins. Maybe P.Trump was onto something. Mike Walz collecting ballots -> |

| #1 So how about hiring Armor Transports (e.g. Well Fargo, Loomis, Brink's)? Placing a poll watcher from each party and an armed security guard in each pickup up and delivery? It would negate a lot of the "issues" we have seen in transporting ballots nationwide. Given the usual minority run, scheming political party that controls the Board of Elections, in too many large METRO's. Example given, Fulton Co. GA. |
