Suspicious envelopes, some laced with fentanyl, have been sent to election offices in at least five US states.

In Georgia, The Letter appeared to be targeting an office in Fulton County . Authorities discovered The Letter and found it contained fentanyl.

" Some People like to call fentanyl a drug, " Mr Raffensperger told reporters on Thursday. " It's actually poison, it will kill you, it will kill you very quickly, very easily. "
