I went to vote today in Georgia USA. People showed up wearing bed sheets over them. What is this supposed to communicate exactly??
Well whatayaknow, Republicans are right
Dead people really are voting
Sharia law is getting out of hand smh
I guess it is to protect the personality. Maybe MAGA maybe some fearful Democrats or GREENS :O
Isn’t it generally illegal to film or take photos in a voting location? And now people are further spreading it? Considering how divided this country has gotten, an argument can be made this is dangerous for those in the picture.
spooky month 👻
It’s a mystery! Get Scooby and the gang! They’ll unmask those ghost.
This is not my picture; I only crossposted it (original was in !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world ). I also only did so because it was apparently being deleted and I wanted it not to be lost (sorry if it’s a loose fit for the community because of that).
According to OP, it was an early voting location in Georgia. The thread was deleted 9 hours after being posted, with a score of 125 and 36 comments.
Edit: the deletion my not be as nefarious as I assumed; there’s a similar thread in this community that (as I write this) still exists. https://lemmy.world/post/21116630
If I had to guess it’s to protect their identity so that they can vote without being harassed. But I will fully admit I only looked at the picture and didn’t click the link or anything.
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:
