The office building in Topeka that is home to the state's top election officials was evacuated yesterday after receiving what is being described as suspicious mail.

 The office of Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab remained closed for the rest of the day yesterday as the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Office of the Kansas State Fire Marshall responded to the incident. No one was harmed.

This latest incident comes after more than 100 letters containing white powder were sent to Kansas officials and legislators including Virgil Peck and Ron Bryce last June.

Governor Laura Kelly called this an attempt at political intimidation and added that no Kansan should ever feel unsafe because of their politics.
