Suspicious letters sent to election offices in multiple states being investigated by feds, considered connected; at least one contained fentanyl

The FBI said it has “responded to multiple incidents involving suspicious letters sent to ballot counting centers in several states” but could not comment further on an ongoing matter.

In a statement Thursday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Fulton County, Georgia – which includes large swaths of Atlanta – had been among the election offices in multiple states targeted with suspicious letters.

CNN previously reported that election offices across multiple counties in Washington state had received envelopes on Wednesday that contained powdery substances.

Fentanyl was found in an envelope received by election officials Wednesday in King County, Washington – home to Seattle – the county’s elections director Julie Wise told CNN.

Wise said her staff did not read the contents of the letter, but she described the situation as eerily similar to one over the summer when another letter – this one saying that there should not be elections – was also later found to contain trace amounts of fentanyl. She said the US Postal Inspection Service investigated the earlier incident.

Although its sincerity is doubtful, one image I've seen of a letter suggests that Gay Antifa™ is behind it.

The heading of the letter is "END ELECTIONS NOW"
