A courier driver was fired, and the city has released surveillance footage showing the ballots weren’t disturbed.

Hennepin County officials are reassuring voters after surveillance footage caught a courier leaving boxes of absentee ballots unattended outside Edina City Hall on Thursday.

Hennepin County officials say there is no evidence of tampering after a photo was posted to social media showing an open, unattended vehicle full of ballots.

EDINA, Minn. — With the election only a few weeks away, ballot security is top of mind for officials. An alert photographer shared an image of a lapse in security in a metro suburb on Friday, leading to swift action from Hennepin County.

The county acknowledged the "lapse in protocol," calling it "unacceptable" and adding that the driver has been terminated.
