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

I’m not sure a good argument can be made. Being at a polling place doesn’t say who you’re voting for. I don’t see the danger.
“I saw a photo of you being civically responsible!”
How dare you!
The argument goes like this: Georgia, along with 11 other states, has prohibited filming and photos in polling locations, which is a legal prohibition in the public interest that has been upheld by the courts.
That’s not an argument that being filmed at a polling place is dangerous.
Show a rabid Trump republican a picture of voters at a polling place and inform them it’s in a democratic stronghold and record what they say. I’ll wait.
They’d probably lose their shit even if you showed them a picture of a squirel or something innocent like that.
