Suspicious Packages Sent to Election Offices in Over 20 States Trigger FBI Investigation and Evacuations

The FBI is currently investigating a series of suspicious packages that were sent to election offices in more than 20 states this week. The packages have triggered evacuations, rattled staff, and raised concerns as election officials across the country prepare for upcoming deadlines and the start of early voting.

According to a CNN survey of state offices and Associated Press reporting, threatening envelopes were received by election officials or intercepted on the way to officials in states such as Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, and more.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger revealed that his office was notified by the US Postal Service about a suspicious package headed their way. This comes after a similar incident last November when an envelope containing fentanyl was sent to an election office in Fulton County.

Election officials in North Carolina and Kentucky have also taken precautions, with staff wearing gloves while processing mail and isolating suspicious items. Karen Brinson Bell, the executive director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections, expressed concern about the added workload and anxiety these incidents bring, emphasizing the importance of ensuring people are able to vote safely.

The FBI’s investigation into these suspicious packages is ongoing, and election officials are on high alert as they continue their preparations for the upcoming election season.
