California Secretary of State Shirley Weber (Wikipedia) BY CLARA HARTER SACRAMENTO, CA (LA TIMES) -- A suspicious package containing unbleached flour was received at the California secretary of state’s headquarters in Sacramento, in what appears to be the latest in a series of suspicious packages sent to election officials across the country, officials reported Thursday afternoon. In total, suspicious packages have been sent to election officials in at least 15 other states, officials said. The source of the Sacramento package is unknown. “Field testing and presumptive chemical test by state law enforcement revealed that the material contained within the package was non-hazardous and tested positive for unbleached flour,” Secretary of State Shirley Weber said in a statement, adding that federal authorities will continue to investigate the incident. Weber said local elections offices are being advised to take extra precautions before handling mail that arrives at their facilities. On T
