“We became aware of the situation that there is actually still an envelope that is traveling in the mail and headed towards Fulton County,” Raffensperger told reporters Thursday. “It has been tested and it did have fentanyl in it.”
“It is still in transit. It hasn’t arrived yet. They are trying to get that, intercept that before it gets here and we just don’t know where that will be,” he continued. “But we have put and prepared our people here that could receive that mail on alert and given them the resources they need with Narcan.”
Raffensperger is calling the mailing of the letter “domestic terrorism and it needs to be condemned by anyone that holds elected office and anyone that wants to hold elected office anywhere in America.”
“I just want to really emphasize the seriousness of this. Some people like to call fentanyl a drug, but it’s actually poison. It will kill you. It will kick you very quickly, very easily. It’s very dangerous. We lost our son five and a half years ago due to a fentanyl overdose. We know how deadly this stuff is,” he added.
