FBI investigating threatening letters sent to election officials in several states
The FBI warned election offices to be on the lookout after threatening letters containing suspicious substances were sent to the offices of multiple secretaries of state throughout the country.
A senior law enforcement official confirmed that election officials in at least six states received packages Monday but said that so far none of the packages have been found to contain any actual hazardous material.
Secretaries of state, attorney generals’ offices and state election offices in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Tennessee, Wyoming and Oklahoma were targeted. The return address identified the sender as the “U.S.T.E.A.” — “US Traitor Elimination Army.”
The Kansas secretary of state’s office was evacuated Monday, as were offices in Iowa and Oklahoma.
The FBI said in a statement it was "working with our partners to determine how many letters were sent, the individual or individuals responsible for the letters, and the motive behind the letters. As this is an ongoing matter we will not be commenting further on the investigation, but the public can be assured safety is our top priority.”

I do not recall this type of thing happening before trump began calling the integrity of elections in to question. Nor do I recall seeing stories about election officials quitting their jobs. These days so as to avoid the wrath of trump's mob. Begging the question, where is his condemnation of threats made against election workers?
The most detailed look yet at the 'exodus' of local voting officials
It's been clear for some time that the work environment in these jobs was becoming unsustainable. Threats and harassment have become commonplace since the flurry of voting lies that followed Donald Trump's loss in 2020, while at the same time, the actual job duties required have been steadily growing more complex.
He doesn't condemn the intimidation because his goal is to have non-partisan election workers replaced with his sycophants. His goal is to corrupt the system brick by brick.
