Watch: Moment US ballot box found in middle of road

Dashcam footage shows the moment US election ballots were found in the middle of a road in Cutler Bay, Florida. A sealed bin and sealed bag of ballots fell off the back of an election worker's truck and were discovered by a passing car. The ballots were taken to a local police department, where election staff verified all items and seals were intact.

The county’s elections supervisor said that the ballots had already been scanned and tabulated at the South Dade Regional Library’s early-voting site. Despite the incident occurring due to “human error”, the elections department said the worker responsible had been fired.
