Grrrr. Okay. It is illegal to have federal officers at the polls for any reason. They can’t be there to observe and “keep the peace,” they can’t be there to serve/execute warrants, they can’t be there. Which is what makes this whole shitshow so infuriating. The law doesn’t matter.

Just because the USA imported it at 75% reduced price doesn't mean retailers are going to sell as such. And the only reason any country would export at 75% reduced price is because nobody else wanted it. Whatever this is, it was probably butchered 3-years ago.
