Containers with hundreds of ballots in Miami-Dade County, Florida, were found on the side of a road overnight after they fell out of a county truck, the Elections Department confirmed Tuesday. 

Christina White, the county’s elections supervisor, said the containers were sealed, and the ballots had already been scanned and tabulated. The Miami-Dade Elections Department released a statement saying the incident was due to “human error” and that none of the ballots were tampered with.
