Why are people doing this at voting locations in the USA?

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 🤷♂️
Yeah I really can't tell the truth here. All I know is something isn't right
Edit: there are lines for early voting in Cobb County, Georgia, where the original pictures are allegedly from. There were some lines but not long waits usually between 15-30 minutes but many places less than that.
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.
