I went to vote today in Georgia USA. People showed up wearing bed sheets over them. What is this supposed to communicate exactly??

This time I had the foresight to take screenshots:
Well that’s illegal. They’re probably trying to stir up trouble because Cobb county goes Democrat.
Damn, looks like you’re super popular or something! 😄
It looks like I don’t mark my messages read, LOL.
Or maybe you said something SUPER controversial in an extremely active post? 😁
Man, I wish Lemmy had enough participation to have posts that active!
I’m sorry but some white sheets + sunglasses is absolutely not resembling the KKK in any way, especially since everyone in the US is already dressing up for Halloween. This seems to be just overblown drama. Some dumbos probably thought they’d make some funny ghost voting video for tictok or something, not knowing the rules. Claiming this to be some sort of intimidation attempt is just a fragile victim complex.
You really can’t see how wearing sheets to a voting station in a state with deep historical ties to the KKK could be perceived poorly?
So people in that state are not allowed to dress up as ghosts?
You are absolutely not allowed to film or disturb a place of voting.
I never said anything implying the opposite. But filming also does not make you a Nazi either.
In the US, fucking with voting is very much Nazi behavior.
They weren’t “fucking with voting” and even left when they got told off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon’s_razor
Right… That’s why they were allowed to stay.
Context.
You try to use this as a reason to not sound like a bigot, but you’re just meaning to say “yes”.
Nope, in almost every context it’s fine to dress up as a ghost.
A polling stationAn in person voting location in Georgia is one of the only exceptions.Because polling stations are places for Nazis.
What the fuck are you talking about
Agreed. This is most likely just some people being doofy.
