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

    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.
