<p>Envelopes with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fentanyl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fentanyl</a> were sent to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">election</a> offices in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/georgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Georgia</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington</a> state, according to officials, during a week in which voters went to the polls throughout the country to cast their ballots for Election Day 2023.</p>
<p>Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBXKz1ZtGdo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> on Thursday that officials are working to intercept an envelope making its way through the mail to Fulton County, which includes Atlanta, that had tested positive for fentanyl.</p>
<p>This followed <a href="https://www.sos.wa.gov/about-office/news/2023/county-elections-offices-receive-suspicious-envelopes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">evacuations</a> at multiple locations in Washington state where a suspicious powder was found in four envelopes, including <a href="https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/election-offices-in-washington-state-evacuated-after-white-powdery-substance-found-in-envelopes-fentanyl-drugs-narcotics-king-county-renton-tacoma-fire-crews-fbi-usps-inspectors#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">at least one</a> in King County and <a href="https://apnews.com/article/election-offices-letters-evacuations-fentanyl-threats-5d39155be4b2fcd5481b570cc109cb9c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another in Spokane County</a> that authorities said they tested and found some fentanyl.</p>
<p>Raffensperger told reporters at a press conference that local officials who could receive the in-transit envelope have been trained with Narcan, an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/15/health/narcan-nalaxone-drug-stores.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overdose-reversing nasal spray</a>, and noted that his state&#8217;s other 158 counties have been placed on alert.</p>
<p>&#8220;Some people like to call fentanyl a drug, but it&#8217;s actually poison. It will kill you. It will kill you very quickly — very easily,&#8221; he said, adding that his son died of a fentanyl overdose several years ago.</p>

<p>Washington officials said envelopes containing suspicious powder disrupted workers as they counted ballots on Tuesday.</p>

<p>&#8220;The safety of staff and observers is paramount as elections workers across the state open envelopes and count each voter’s ballot,&#8221; Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs said in a <a href="https://www.sos.wa.gov/about-office/news/2023/county-elections-offices-receive-suspicious-envelopes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. &#8220;These incidents underscore the critical need for stronger protections for all election workers. Democracy rests upon free and fair elections. These incidents are acts of terrorism to threaten our elections.&#8221;</p>
<p>Election officials in King County, which includes Seattle, also received an envelope and letter with trace amounts of fentanyl during Washington state&#8217;s August 1 primary, Hobbs&#8217; office said. Another envelope sent to Okanogan County officials also contained a suspicious substance that was later determined to be unharmful.</p>
<p>Authorities are working to determine who sent the latest series of envelopes, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/election-offices-letters-evacuations-fentanyl-threats-5d39155be4b2fcd5481b570cc109cb9c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Associated Press reported</a>. The FBI and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are investigating the incidents, according to the Department of Justice, as are state and local officials.</p>
<p>During his press conference, Raffensperger suggested investigators may have been able to link the envelopes sent to Washington and Georgia through &#8220;postmarks and things like that.&#8221; He also said this is &#8220;domestic terrorism&#8221; and &#8220;needs to be condemned by anyone who holds elected office and anyone that wants to hold elected office anywhere in America.&#8221;</p>
