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.

      Super bleak, read at your own risk

      If Trump wins it won’t be the last election. Elections will become increasingly more of a sham than they already are, but the legitimacy propaganda is useful to Republicans. The electoral college will become more powerful, his supporters will throw out more ballots from poor districts, and the Supreme Court will keep overriding results. All this will be done while gaslighting the population about how they’re fixing democracy.
