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

They were filming and had fake county employee badges, immediately trespassed and removed
Ohhhh that’s even darker than I dared to guess… Voter intimidation? They’re probably looking for “illegal voting” and know their actions are frowned upon by most so they dont want people to recognize them in town.
Kinda really stupid because you immediately draw attention to yourself dressed like that… But then again the type of person who falls for the Trump election lie doesn’t exactly have logic listed among their strengths…
If this is true and you can have a decent account and some evidence of what happened it might be worth dropping a “tip” about it to your local news station
So I take it to mean the poll workers or someone else actually asked them to leave? If so, that’s something. This is absolutely shitty, politicking at the polling place at best, and I agree with the others: you show up to a political event in the south wearing a white sheet, then pointy hood or not, we all know what you’re evoking.
That’s almost certainly super illegal. Unless there’s a weird local exemption It’s illegal to misrepresent yourself as a government official (this usually comes up with law enforcement but it covers all “regular” public employees - i.e. not private contractors hired by the government).
Please report this and include as many photos or other physical proof you may have as I really suspect it’s an attempt at voter intimidation.
