Election offices across the United States are reportedly being targeted with suspicious packages, raising concerns about the safety of those involved in the electoral process.

"No one should have to fear for their safety when taking part in the electoral process," stated an official from an election office. "We must all stand firm against political threats and violence in order to protect our democracy."

In a recent incident, the Illinois State Board of Elections received a package deemed 'suspicious.' The event was reported by FOX 32 Chicago.

Authorities are urging vigilance and caution as investigations continue into these threats aimed at disrupting democratic processes.
