One of the more bizarre incidents we've come across this election...

San Francisco police arrested a polling inspector Wednesday on suspicion of stealing up to 75 ballots, a voting roster and other election material in a bizarre Election Day heist.

Karl Bradfield Nicholas, 50, was taken into custody around 1 a.m., Lt. Lyn Tomioka said. He was not cooperating with authorities, and none of the ballots have been recovered.

Nicholas was in charge of a polling site in the city's southern most district when he inexplicably made off Tuesday afternoon with the ballots, a memory pack that records information from the ballots, the voter roster and another poll worker's cell phone, said John Arntz, San Francisco's director of elections.

Authorities have not determined a motive for the alleged theft.

Without the voter roster, Arntz said officials would not be able to determine whose ballots were taken. But he added that so far, it does not appear the missing ballots would have changed the outcome of the election. There was no contest for supervisor in that district, and all the citywide ballot measures appear to have been decided by considerably more than 75 votes.

Nicholas has been booked on three felonies, including burglary. He's being held in the county jail.
