Racist text messages reported in multiple states after Election Day

[Gaugamela]

Officials in a number of states are responding to reports of racist texts received by residents in the days after the 2024 election.

The Virginia Attorney General's Office told ABC News it "is aware of these text messages and unequivocally condemns them."

The office confirmed that the text language corresponds with the text reportedly received by an employee at ABC affiliate 13News Now in Norfolk, Virginia, which read: "You have been selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation. Be ready at 12 pm sharp with your belongings. Our executive slaves will come get you in a brown van. Be prepared to be searched down once you've enter the plantation. You are in plantation group W."

As of 6 p.m. ET Thursday, cellphone users in eight cities -- Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Houston, Huntsville, Texas, Los Angeles, Norfolk, Virginia, and Tuscaloosa, Alabama -- reported receiving the messages.
