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

I can't tell if the original post is an elaborate hoax with a link that never worked in the first place or if something is legit happening. Why would there be lines to vote already? Maybe I'm naive and early voting is that difficult in Georgia that people are lining up now. I don't know, my ballot gets mailed to me by default and I can just walk up and drop it off any time up until polls close on election day. This feels like it's a post to sow discord but 🤷‍♂️

There wasn't much of a line at 7:00 a.m. a week ago when I voted in that same building, but last year it took me half an hour or so to get up to the door. It's also typically a little longer wait on weekends.
