The US Federal Police (FBI) and the country's postal service inspectors have launched a wide-ranging investigation into the sending of suspicious letters, including letters containing an unknown white powder, to the offices of election officials and Democratic lawmakers; The incident, less than three weeks before the mid-term elections on November 3, has increased security concerns.
According to Ambassador Arjan, among the recipients of these letters are the offices of Chuck Schumer, the leader of the US Senate Democrats, and two Democratic senators, Alex Padia from California and Chris Murphy. Federal authorities have said some of the letters contained an unknown substance and efforts to identify their senders are ongoing.
According to reports, some of these shipments have been seized before reaching their destination. Election offices in states including Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Idaho have been among the targets of these mailings.

Meanwhile, election officials in several other states have also reported receiving suspicious parcels. Reports indicate that in Louisiana and Oklahoma, packages containing powdered substances have caused the evacuation of election offices.
US Postal Service Deputy Inspector General Brendan Donahue confirmed that investigators are working to identify those responsible. He warned that any threat or attack against election officials is unacceptable.
It is not yet clear whether all these letters are related to each other or have a single sender. Also, the authorities have not declared that the unknown substances really posed a risk to people's health or that the main goal of the senders was intimidation and threats.
These incidents occur in a situation where the United States is preparing for mid-term elections; An election whose outcome could determine control of Congress. In the 2024 presidential election, the US Postal Service moved about 99.2 million ballots, and nearly 30 percent of the ballots in that election were delivered by mail.
Donald Trump and his Republican allies have previously tried to limit mail-in voting; An issue that has become one of the most important political disputes on the eve of the elections.
Despite these concerns, the head of the US Postal Service has announced that the agency is ready to move millions of ballots and that special measures, including speeding up the processing and delivery of ballots, are on the agenda.
