The FBI is currently investigating a series of suspicious packages and letters containing white powder that have been sent to election officials across more than 15 states, including Iowa, Missouri, and Georgia. Incidents have led to evacuations of several state offices, including those of the Kansas Secretary of State and the Lucas Building near the Iowa Capitol. The West Hartford mail facility also reported finding a suspicious envelope. In total, election officials in at least 16 states have received threatening parcels, prompting heightened security measures. Although some materials have been deemed nonhazardous, authorities are urging caution as they continue to examine the motives behind these mailings.
