đŸ§”1 The footage displays Oct. 8. D.C.’s drop boxes opened Oct. 9 at 11 a.m. Soldiers beside a ballot drop box. In Washington, D.C. Who the hell ordered this? You should never have to wonder whether troops are watching you vote. Commanders owe voters answers. Put the orders on the record.

Plus it’s also important to understand that no NG troops or military members have been reported at ANY voting boxes like this nationwide so far since 10/19. Posting content like this without validating any actual facts is dangerous.
This is less of a story than it's being made out to be. The box was was placed on the day before it was due to be used. Also the NG came out and said the Guards were on break and were not assigned to to patrol the area, and aledgedly they didn't even realize what their standing next to was an issue.
I have never had less respect for our military than I do today!

I am certain that I will be disgusted with our military in the near future!
Early voting hadn’t started yet when picture/video was shot.

Gomer fidgeting around with his lubeless buttplug.
Scare tactic
It looks more and more like Hitler's regime.
SirNYC @sirnyc.bsky.social · 11/10/2026 12:26
Trump ordered it. DC has no Governor so the President is in charge of the DC National Guard.

This was my fear.
They set them on fire before.
I'm not the targeted color, but I'd love to go up there, say "Hi, excuse me, excuse me," smiling, and drop off my ballot, unperturbed. Prove they were not going to intimidate me--but I'm an old white woman, not a person of color they're trying to intimidate. This is blatantly illegal.
Not it isn’t. Early voting hadn’t started yet not begun yet.
DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED OR AFRAID TO CAST YOUR VOTE!
@galwaygra.bsky.social · 10/10/2026 13:31
This actually thrills my heart. They're terrified. This is a show of weakness. Good. Vote.
ALman13 @alman13.bsky.social · 10/10/2026 11:17
These Soldiers are TRAITORS to there COUNTRY AND THERE FELLOW AMERICANS!!
Arrest them. Being an armed agent at a poling place is 5 years. "Just following orders" doesn't fly.
They could watch me vote as much as they want. What they couldn't do is stop me from voting.

Treat them like they aren't there and drop the ballot in the box.
NATIONAL GUARD. DONT DO IT.
For your protection, coming soon to a ballot box near you—>Military.
This is so enraging. Nov 3rd won’t come soon enough.
Absolutely right
@apojaap.bsky.social · 09/10/2026 19:23
This is normal procedure in dictatorships, so it should not be a surprise.
"Whoever, being an officer ... in the ... service of the United States, orders ... any troops ... at any place where a food truck is located, unless such force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."
That federal law only applies to the commanding office, not the troops if they had been assigned there, which they allegedly had not.
Thank you.
Why are those guys there? I’d ask them. Don’t see them picking up trash. A waste of our taxpayer dollars$$$$$ 😡

Make them identify themselves and their commanding officers.
It's important to note whether they are armed, too. This is in direct violation.
Guess who?
So.it was a video of two natl guard standing by an unoperational drop box on 10/8 that wasn't open for use til 10/9. Where's the video from 10/9? Then you have something.
It’s called voter intimidation and it’s illegal.
WTAF!!!! Illegal!!!
Ummm no it’s not! Early voting had not started yet.
This looks like Russian-occupied Ukraine. đŸ€Ź

Exactly

@abrodsky.bsky.social · 09/10/2026 17:12
I guess they got bored hanging around Metro stations
Not to mention doing that in DC is a true waste of these guys time over and above they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

Gosh, if only there was a committee, like maybe @democrats-armedservices.house.gov , within the House of Representatives that could raise awareness about this.

If only.
@dantealigeri.bsky.social · 09/10/2026 16:02
Republicans have officially killed our Democracy. We’re a first rate shit hole country officially.
I said the exact same thing today to my husband. So disgusted
BullMoose @mooseman2.bsky.social · 09/10/2026 15:57
Is someone EVER going to do anything about Trump & his Regime?
Soldiers at ballot boxes?
ICE shooting people in cars - 7 shots?
Criminals being hired in ICE and other Government Departments?
And 100's of other instances where a President should be fired (impeached or whatever) and nothing happens.
@catpsychologist.bsky.social · 09/10/2026 19:38
Nothing happens because everyone who gives a shit is asking the same question.
Wonder if they always wanted to have their faces in history books or just joined the fascists recently
Those are National Guard soldiers who have been forced to patrol D.C. It is illegal for them to be assigned at polling places an drop box's. Good luck finding someone who will stop this.
Good question
Are they just looking at who is dropping off the ballots or grabbing the ballots ??

They are not allowed to touch the ballots. ??
@nromenzer.bsky.social · 09/10/2026 15:37
he just want to copy his Russian Daddy
It distresses me that people will just follow such bad orders as these.
There were no orders where they were assigned to this role.

Jim @jim584.bsky.social · 09/10/2026 15:26
Wonder what the Founding Fathers, the people who wrote the Constitution, would say about this? If they weren't ordered to stand around the drop box, their education and training should have taught them never to stand there. If ordered to stand there, they should have questioned the order!
It's simply to intimidate minority voters.
"Simply" is dismissive. It's about intimidating any voters and illegal as hell.
@rosewood1923fl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026 15:55
And yet there is a minority soldier tasked with doing it!
“I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.."
That’s what people should ask them to recite.

This is how democracy dies
đŸ§”2
Federal law prohibits federal officials from ordering, bringing, or keeping troops at election sites, except to repel armed enemies of the United States.
18 U.S.C. § 592 carries up to five years in prison.

Contact your MoCs & state attorneys general. Demand safeguards against voter intimidation
But it is not the troops that would be held liable. Only the commanding officer that assigned troops to the role are held liable under federal law.

Encounter voter intimidation, interference, or trouble casting your ballot?

Call the nonpartisan Election Protection hotline:

Save it. Share it. Nobody should have to face voting interference alone
