I’m not someone who typically buys into conspiracies, if I’m being perfectly honest. However, today, I went to the election center to vote in the early voting, and was just as shocked as dozens of other people to see several people dressed in “ghost costumes” show up and begin filming. Election center personnel quickly rushed over and told them they can’t be there and it was a huge ruckus, the election center personnel told those of us standing in line that they had county ID badges and that they were filming some sort of video but that it wasn’t allowed and they had to leave…
This seems so incredibly suspicious and honestly shady to me, even if it is real. I understand it’s close to Halloween, but why would you show up wearing ghost costumes? Why not witches or something I don’t know, that doesn’t resemble KKK klansmen? Like, when voter intimidation is a huge concern, why in the hell would anyone think it’s okay to just show up at an election center and start filming yourselves in something that closely resembling extremely racist symbology…
The whole situation is so strange to me and I’m left kind of annoyed that these county employees really did this, and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Like, what was going through their mind?
Is this a response from the election fraud complaint hotline? If you haven’t already kicked it up to them (and to your representative) that might be worth pursuing. At bare minimum it shows whoever planned this (assuming this isn’t Good Ol’ Boys covering for each other) shouldn’t be in the position to be making these decisions, when they’re making ones that are so clearly terrible.
Pull their sheets off and start filming them. See how they like it.
Saying this “closely” resembles klansmen is kind-of hyperbolic. That or you’ve never actually seen klansmen robes.
Sounds like it might just be a faux pas made in a lapse of judgement. Stupid influencer mindset stuff.
It’s scary how quickly people assume conspiracy

I’m not assuming it’s a conspiracy. I simply stated that it’s suspicious and shady. There’s several things that simply don’t add up about the situation. (1) Why did the “county employees” not notify the election center in any way? The employees there had no idea what was going on. That’s very unusual.
(2) why ghosts? It’s not difficult to understand that dressing in white cloths or robes might easily be misunderstood as something else, especially in a very diverse town with a fair amount of non-white people voting there. They could’ve dressed as anything else. Bumblebee, cat whiskers, bunny rabbit, ghostbusters. They really chose white sheets that look like a ripoff klansmen outfit, and didn’t even think twice
(3) Why did they show up at a polling center, and try filming it, which is 100% illegal. That’s common knowledge. You can’t film on the premises of a polling location during a voting period. They had so many other county government buildings to choose from. Tax collector, DMV, wastewater plant, fire station… They specifically chose to do it at a place where it’s known to be illegal
(4) why did they ignore Georgia state law that explicitly states that wearing a mask is illegal? This is very widely known, you can dress up for Halloween ON halloween, but randomly walking around in a full blown ghost costume not on Halloween is illegal
(5) Why did they try to film it? This is the one that honestly makes zero sense. Holiday cheer, sure, whatever. But why would you try to film at a polling center (illegal)? Usually the media is called in to film things like “Hey Fox local news, can you cover this and televise it?” Nope, they’re just like, we’re going to randomly film this for no apparent reason on a day that isn’t Halloween, without telling anyone we’re coming
It’s much scarier yet (but explains a lot) how quickly some people make excuses for racism.
Conspiracies happen in secret. This was election interference in broad daylight.

You’re an armchair idiot, and I find you annoying enough to block. Good luck, godspeed.
Same but about u tbh
Even not dressed up in some Halloween stuff, I wouldn’t be fond of the idea of people, county employee or not, taking pictures and video in a voting area. There is one reason to be there, and that’s it. Someone higher up needs to answer for this if such a “ghost trend” video taking was ordered, and what the hell is that anyway?
Like, what was going through their mind?
Racism.
When I first saw it I thought more about voter fraud. Dead people voting.
That looks nothing like a klan rally.
Votings in halloween costumes is stupid but not sinister.
Touch grass.
Hmm, I wonder if Georgia has a history of having to ban wearing masks in public because of insane racists harassing voters? 🤔 I wonder if one of the current nominees has also encouraged supporters to go to polls to intimidate people?

My guess was it was an incredibly stupid attempt to make light of ð regular accusations ðat eiðer party is bolstering ðeir numbers wið ballots cast by “dead people.”
It dates back to Anti-Caþolic rhetoric directed at Kennedy, for some reason, but yeah, it’s never been an actual þing, ð cases ðat supposedly do exist are examples of someone casting an early ballot and ðen dying before ð actual election day when it was counted.
