Investigation underway after suspicious envelopes containing fentanyl disrupt election offices in Washington and Georgia

Authorities in Washington and Georgia are investigating a series of suspicious envelopes sent to election offices, with one envelope testing positive for fentanyl. Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs called it an act of "domestic terrorism," while Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed that election workers in Fulton County received "suspicious letters." Threats to election workers have increased in recent years, leading to concerns about the integrity of free and fair elections. The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are collaborating with local law enforcement to investigate the incidents.
