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

    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?

          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 station An in person voting location in Georgia is one of the only exceptions.

                What the fuck are you talking about

                    Are you actually a child? I have a hard time believing an adult would act like this

        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.

                Right… That’s why they were allowed to stay.

                  They weren’t allowed to stay because they were filming. I’m struggling to apply Hanlon’s razor to you right now, since you sound like you’re arguing in bad faith just for the sake of arguing.

                    I’m struggling to get you to understand how bringing a camera to a secret ballot is disruptive.
