Safety threat at Kansas City polling office raises concerns ahead of Election Day

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The FBI is investigating suspicious mail sent to a Kansas City polling office on Friday. Security measures are in place to keep workers safe on Election Day.

“Everyone’s been concerned about their safety,” said Kansas City Election Board democratic director Lauri Ealom.

Ealom said their office gets daily alerts from the federal government about potential threats. On Friday, they got one about a suspicious postcard delivered at various polling sites across the state. Little did they know, they received one.

“When I got the email, I then went ahead and sent it out to my team and they said Lauri, it’s been in your mailbox on your door for a few hours,” she said.
