(Congressional Agenda) – On Monday evening, an entire box of ballots fell off a truck and just sat on a Miami-Dade County road in the state of Florida. Boy, if this is a sign of the incompetence to come as we head toward Election Day next Tuesday, I’m terrified for the future of this nation.
According to information contained in a report from The Western Journal, the incident occurred sometime between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m., after early voting was concluded for the day at the South Dade Regional Library. A sealed box and bag fell off the truck, a story covered by WPLG said. It’s bad enough that we have to worry about liberals setting ballot boxes on fire and employing the use of other dirty tricks to compromise election integrity, but incompetence is apparently a huge threat as well.
The Miami-Dade Elections Department revealed the back door of the truck where the ballots were stored for transport wasn’t locked, which allowed for the objects to fall into the street. A video posted to X shows the bag and box being picked up and taken to the police department.
“It was an unfortunate human error on the part of one of our workers,” Miami-Dade Supervisor of Elections Christina White stated, weighing in on the situation. I hope it was just an error and not an intentional act of sabotage. Unfortunately, you just never know these days.
Last night, an individual came across a box full of ballots and other documents on exit 11 of the Turnpike, at the intersection of 211th St. in Cutler Bay. He immediately picked them up and took them to the police station, where they have been properly secured. No information yet… pic.twitter.com/HQP6glsm9b

“When they were pulling out of one of our early voting locations last night, they are charged with bringing back voted ballot bins and other election material to elections headquarters, and unfortunately, they just forgot to lock the back of the truck. And so, when they were pulling out of the early voting site, the door opened, and one ballot bin and one bag had fallen out of the truck,” she continued. White then noted that this was not an intentional act.
“The employee was absolutely distraught over it, but in the elections field, we have zero tolerance for error. All our procedures were reiterated to all of our workers who do this job,” she explained, going on to add “This is the first time we have had anything like this happen.”
“We were very fortunate that there were upstanding residents that happened to see this unfold, and they did the responsible thing and turned it into the local Miami-Dade Police Department,” White elaborated. “There were seals on both the bin and the bag, so we were able to confirm here that they were intact… and there were no contents inside that were either damaged or tampered with.”
The Miami-Dade Elections Department put out a statement hailing the witnesses as “upstanding citizens” who “did the right thing.” The ballots are now on their way for storage.
“These represented the ballots that went into one of those units,” White commented. “That ballot is put in there, the votes are tabulated and counted, and so the paper ballots fall into a bin. And at the end of each night, we close up the bins, we seal them up, and we bring them back to the elections department.”
“I want to put voters’ minds at ease that their votes were counted, they were cast and counted accurately,” she continued. “The employee was absolutely distraught over it, but in the elections field, we have zero tolerance for error. All our procedures were reiterated to all of our workers who do this job.”
“This was just another bag that had a provisional ballot, one provisional ballot in it, that would come back and be reviewed for accuracy and eligibility to determine whether or not we are going to accept it,” White further explained in conclusion.
