The package is similar to those sent to other Secretaries of State across the U.S. this week, the agency said in a news release.
It was sent with a return address to the “U.S. Traitor Elimination Army” and a preliminary investigation showed the powder is likely harmless, state officials said Tuesday. The case is being investigated by the FBI, U.S. Postal Inspection Service and Colorado State Patrol.
“We cannot tolerate threats to election officials and public servants. These threatening mailings are unacceptable and we must condemn these actions in the strongest possible terms,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a statement.
Similar packages sent to election officials this week in Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Missouri, New York and Rhode Island, Mississippi and Connecticut are also being investigated by the FBI, according to the Associated Press.
