Other packages reached offices in New York, Tennessee, Wyoming, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Massachusetts, and Colorado. According to ABC News reports, none of the packages have been classified as hazardous; one was found to contain flour. However, the presence of these packages led to evacuations at several locations. The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are currently investigating these mailings directed at election officials across multiple states. They noted that some letters contained unknown substances and are collaborating with law enforcement to address each case safely and collect the letters involved. Additionally, they are working to ascertain how many letters were sent and identify those responsible for them along with their motives. One package sent to an office in Colorado had a return address labeled &#8220;U.S. Traitor Elimination Army.&#8221; On Monday alone, offices in Kansas and Wyoming were evacuated as a precaution after receiving suspicious packages.
