Ballot With 'Powdery Substance' Sent To Adams County Elections Office

ADAMS COUNTY, CO — Authorities are investigating a ballot with a "suspicious, powdery substance" mailed to the Adams County elections office, Adams County clerk Josh Zygielbaum said in a news conference Thursday.

The ballot is believed to have been sent in an attempt to "disrupt the elections process," according to Zygielbaum.

The substance is undergoing a series of tests, which have so far come back negative for explosives, biological agents, and narcotics, Zygielbaum said.

Patch reached out to the Adams County Sheriff's Office for comment.
