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

    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.

      It is illegal to cover your face when voting for purposes of identification. It is illegal to video on the premises up to a certain distance, just like it’s illegal to canvass within a certain distance during voting. These people are doing something nefarious. Whether it’s voter fraud, voter intimidation, or whatever. And they didn’t just wear costumes, they had counterfeit badges, too.
