Authorities are investigating who sent letters laced with powdery substances, including fentanyl, to election offices across the U.S.
Letters laced with powdery substances, including some containing fentanyl, were sent to multiple local election offices across the U.S. in what some lawmakers are calling acts of domestic terrorism .
Officials told multiple outlets a letter laced with fentanyl was mailed to election workers there, but Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said authorities were working to intercept it before it arrived. But naloxone, an overdose-reversal drug, was sent to the office as a precaution. In Washington state, election offices in King, Skagit, Spokane and Pierce counties had to be evacuated Wednesday after letters containing"unknown powdery substances" arrived as workers were counting ballots from Tuesday's elections.Letters received in King and Spokane counties tested positive for fentanyl, and in another office, the substance was determined to be baking soda.
Law enforcement in California intercepted a suspicious letter headed for Los Angeles County, its registrar reported.
