The FBI confirmed it is “aware” of bomb threats that targeted election offices in several Oregon counties. Local clerks in Deschutes, Crook, and Jefferson reported receiving threatening emails last week, just days after election day.
The FBI said that none of the threats were deemed credible.
“Election integrity is among the FBI’s highest priorities,” the FBI said in a statement. “We will continue to work closely with our state and local law enforcement partners to respond to any threats to election officials and to protect our communities.”
The Deschutes county clerk, Steve Dennison, told Central Oregon Daily News: “We’ve referred these threats to our partners in law enforcement as well as the secretary of state’s office.”
