A Miami-Dade elections worker was fired after a sealed bin and a sealed bag of ballots fell out of their truck and were discovered on the side of the road, according to the county’s elections department.

The elections department called it a case of human error. The 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 sealed containers with the ballots inside had already been scanned and tabulated at the South Dade Regional Library’s early voting site on Monday, according to the Miami Herald.

A driver spotted the bin and bag with the ballots near 211 Street and the Turnpike Extension in Cutler Bay, according to a video posted by OnlyInDade.

    Yeah I’m starting to lean towards burn these mother fuckers and their families to prevent the cancer spreading stage of traitors. Talking some Sherman shit, they try to dismantle our democracy? They forfeit the rights protected by said democracy. Just sayin.

      No. No talk like that, good god. No reason to work yourself into some fever. Only reason to know what you’re up against. Only reason to know how things usually go. Chill those hands and quell those words.
