Senators urge DOJ review after suspicious letters sent to election offices
Sens. Klobuchar and Fischer Urge Justice Department to Prioritize Review of Suspicious Letters Sent to Election Offices
Concerns Over Rise in Fentanyl-Containing Letters
Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Deb Fischer (R-NE) have expressed deep concern over a recent surge in suspicious letters containing fentanyl or other unknown substances being sent to election offices across multiple states. In a letter obtained by the Hill, the senators have urged the Justice Department to prioritize a thorough review of these cases before the 2024 election period.
Request for Support and Resources
The senators, who serve as the chairwoman and ranking member of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, have specifically requested Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco to ensure that those affected by these incidents receive the necessary resources and support. They emphasize the need for immediate action, especially with primary elections scheduled to begin early next year in most of the affected states.
Focus on Election Worker Safety
Additionally, Klobuchar and Fischer have urged the department to consider the safety of election workers during the upcoming primaries. While the New Hampshire primary and Iowa caucuses are set for January, the majority of primary elections will take place in March.
Law Enforcement’s Response
The FBI and other law enforcement agencies are treating all the suspicious letter cases as potentially related due to their timing and nature. They have advised the public to exercise caution when handling mail, especially from unfamiliar senders, and to immediately contact law enforcement if anything suspicious is noticed.

How does inadequate oral hygiene contribute to the buildup of bacteria and resulting bad breath?
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor dental hygiene, certain foods, smoking, dry mouth, health conditions, and medication. Inadequate oral hygiene can lead to the buildup of bacteria in the mouth, which can release foul-smelling gases and cause bad breath. Certain foods, such as garlic and onions, can leave a lingering odor on the breath after digestion. Smoking tobacco products can also contribute to bad breath due to the chemicals and residue left in the mouth and throat. Dry mouth, which can be caused by medications, salivary gland problems, or breathing through the mouth, can result in bad breath as saliva helps to cleanse the mouth and reduce bacteria. Some health conditions, such as gum disease, sinus infections, respiratory problems, and digestive disorders, can also lead to bad breath. If you are concerned about bad breath, it is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including brushing and flossing regularly, drinking plenty of water, avoiding tobacco products, and visiting a dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to consult a healthcare professional to identify and address any underlying causes.
