"Upstanding citizens" found hundreds of ballots on the side of a road and turned them in — undamaged and untampered with — in Florida's most populous county.
Containers filled with ballots of Miami-Dade County voters fell out of a county truck when a worker "forgot to lock the back" of the vehicle, Christina White, the county’s elections supervisor, told the Miami Herald on Tuesday morning. The worker drove off and a sealed bin and sealed bag fell out, she said.
White said the containers remained sealed and the ballots inside were previously scanned and tabulated at an early-voting site a day earlier.
A former Republican congressional candidate in Indiana offered a strange explanation after he was arrested for stealing sample ballots from a voting machine test, according to FOX 59.
Larry Savage, who previously ran for the GOP nomination in Indiana's 5th Congressional District, was serving as a local precinct committeeman in Madison County, when a pair of sample ballots during a test of the voting equipment went missing, said the report.
"A review of security footage, which was subsequently being live-streamed online, showed Savage handling the two missing ballots. He can also be heard confirming with an election official that these are 'absolutely, totally real ballots.' In the video Savage can be seen looking around the room before folding up two ballots and putting them in his sweatshirt pocket."
After this, Savage muttered to another woman in attendance, "f---ed up count," and left with the ballots. He later joined in that woman's Facebook Live, where he posted comments appearing to disparage the validity of the process, saying things like “3 ballots short!!! lol” and “Dontvtake [sic] anything.”
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) on Tuesday suggested that comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's offensive and racist remark about Puerto Rico during Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally Sunday was nothing more than an "unforced error."
