Suspicious packages containing white powder were sent to election officials in at least six states, including Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Tennessee, Wyoming, and Oklahoma. While initial tests revealed the substances to be non-hazardous, the incidents caused evacuations and significant disruptions, especially as early voting has begun. The FBI and U.S. Postal Service are investigating the coordinated threats, which mark the second occurrence of such events in the past year. Officials in Iowa and Kansas confirmed evacuations and thorough testing of the materials, with Oklahoma identifying the substance as flour.
