Apparently, the DC National Guard has now issued a statement* that the troops, pictured, were not "guarding" that election dropbox … it seems to suggest their location was inadvertent.
Truth or spin? Either way, it doesn't make it any less threatening.
… Or any less illegal.
The Guard is explicitly barred from electoral intervention, I believe.
