Officials are saying a 'suspicious powder' was found on a voting ballot in Salt Lake County.
FILE - An election worker examines a ballot at the Clackamas County Elections office, May 19, 2022, in Oregon City, Ore. Problems with a ballot-sorting machine are delaying the vote count in a suburban Portland, Oregon county where issues with blurry bar codes on mail-in ballots delayed elections results in a key Congressional primary race for two weeks in 2022.
"SLC Fire responded to the County Government to assist Salt Lake County Sheriff with a suspicious powder. Hazmat units that responded performed testing to determine the substance was not hazardous and operations returned to normal shortly after.""We are aware of the situation in Salt Lake County and commend the county clerk, her employees, and emergency personnel for acting swiftly to ensure the safety of those in the area.
This incident will be fully investigated. Anyone attempting to intimidate election workers or disrupt election administration in any way can expect to face criminal charges," she posted on X.
