Utah lieutenant governor's office is latest target of threats against election workers
ALT LAKE CITY — Election workers in Utah are the latest target in a string of threats against election officials across the country.
According to the lieutenant governor’s office, the FBI found a suspicious envelope addressed to the office on Friday in Reno, Nevada. The office said the letter had “white powder” and was signed by the “United States Traitor Elimination Army.”
“This incident is the latest tactic in a nationwide trend of threats and intimidation toward election officials. But we will not be intimidated,” Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson said in a press release. “I am grateful for the swift action of postal workers and law enforcement and the perseverance of election workers who show up and do their jobs every day despite all the rhetoric and risk.”
The office said Utah was one of at least 20 states whose election offices were sent suspicious packages that federal authorities are investigating.
