Technically says 50 States and Territories, but I can’t read past that because of the paywall so there’s maybe up to 5 territories which are also investigating and maybe up to 5 US States which are not investigating at all.
Or alternatively, all US States really are investigating and it was purely an editorial decision to say “50 States and territories”. I’m open to that possibility because I’m cynical about this particular source’s writing and editorial style and wouldn’t put it past them even when they have the facts of the matter largely correct. But, paywall.
Right now, the article doesn't specify which states and/or territories they are. It says it, "is a developing story and will be updated," so the page may list them in the future.
Thanks mate. 50 State-level governments no matter what the exact mix is, makes this a huge story.
I would be interested to see what the State omissions are, if any, more out of morbid curiosity than anything because you don’t often see any 50 States and/or Territories do anything in concert like this.
