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

Weird, your linked post seems to be gone now
Edit: actually, I can’t find any of the original posts. And when I try to Google it I can’t find anything either. Wtf
Edit 2: okay, it took some digging but by searching all of Lemmy by comments and filtering by time, I was able to find the two original posts. Both have been deleted, I assume by moderators? And I can’t find anything when I reverse Google search the image. Something smells fishy. For SEO: Georgia election; election interference; voter intimidation; KKK; sheets; ghosts; early voting; Cobb County
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 can’t tell if the original post is an elaborate hoax with a link that never worked in the first place or if something is legit happening. Why would there be lines to vote already? Maybe I’m naive and early voting is that difficult in Georgia that people are lining up now. I don’t know, my ballot gets mailed to me by default and I can just walk up and drop it off any time up until polls close on election day. This feels like it’s a post to sow discord but 🤷♂️
Yeah I really can’t tell the truth here. All I know is something isn’t right
Edit: there are lines for early voting in Cobb County, Georgia, where the original pictures are allegedly from. There were some lines but not long waits usually between 15-30 minutes but many places less than that.
There wasn’t much of a line at 7:00 a.m. a week ago when I voted in that same building, but last year it took me half an hour or so to get up to the door. It’s also typically a little longer wait on weekends.
