Minnesota county election offices receive bomb threats

ST. PAUL, Minn. (KVRR) — We’re one week out from the election and county election offices in Minnesota have been getting e-mail bomb threats ever since.

The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State says over half of the counties in the state have received them.

The threats have been reported by county, state and federal partners.

Steve Simon says over the next few weeks, counties will be canvassing the election, certifying election results, and conducting post-election reviews.

And wants to ensure that those responsible for these threats are held accountable.
