Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
The FBI and the US Postal Inspection Service are investigating letters sent to state officials and election offices across the country containing an “unknown substance”.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
The notice said law enforcement officials were working to intercept additional mail, but it is possible some could reach their destination.
In a statement, the National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors said that "those who administer our elections should never fear for their safety while carrying out their essential duties."
Mailed packages containing a powdery substance led to the evacuation this week of election offices in at least two states, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
“We are also working with our partners to identify the individual or individuals responsible for the letters.”
