The package was addressed to the office with a return address to the “United States Traitor Elimination Army.” Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon issued the following statement:

“Threatening election officials is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. Our democracy depends on public servants who must be able to perform their duties free from fear, intimidation, or harassment. This action is not deterring our work or determination to deliver another election that is free, fair, accurate, and secure. We will work with our law enforcement partners to ensure the person or persons responsible for this action are held accountable.”

Earlier this month, several other Secretaries of State and state election officials received similar suspicious packages.
