Someone said chain of custody and I agree that might also be a problem. Sorry to hear about your incident.
Agreed. I'm not saying the person shouldn't be fired - just that it can easily happen. I know some people absolutely believe this wasn't an accident, but an "on purpose". That is possible too, but it isn't the only possible scenario.
It sucks for him (if he gets fired), but chain of custody is very important. They can say the seals were still intact, but they can easily put another seal on if they can fake hundreds of thousands of ballots. And u/mahsidivad has a point as well with the possibility of adding bags/bins.
And yeah - my incident sucked. I lost a bunch of very fine and very old wines including a really old 60+ year Port I saved for years for my daughter's college graduation - a few weeks from that incident. Still pisses me off.
It could happen just like you said.
Sucks to be the person who got fired but election integrity is so important right now you need to hang on for dear life with what you are entrusted.
