People are giving their theories after an Arizona election official revealed the toxicity of a white powder sent to his state\u2019s capitol.<\/p>\n

At least 36 lawmakers and election offices in at least ten states have reported receiving mysterious letters with white powder and other substances. On Friday, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes explained that while the powder sent to the election office in his state had tested negative for toxicity, it is still harmful in its own way.<\/p>\n

Watch:<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe substance that was collected had gone through labs last night, initially just to check toxicity. That came back negative,\u201d Fontes told CNN on Friday. \u201cI don\u2019t have any specific information as to what the substance actually is, but it is not harmful to human beings at this time. The distraction of elections officials during this very, very busy time, and the intimidation of \u2014 potential intimidation \u2014 of voters is harm. That is harm to our democracy, that is harm to our election systems that we want to run smoothly without intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other states and lawmakers are reporting they have received letters of their own over the last week.<\/p>\n
