  So, unfortunately, the police are often not politically neutral and usually skew towards a conservative bent - this is also likely explicitly outside their jurisdiction since it involves a federal election (and America has a really dark history of law enforcement interfering with elections) so, charitably, they may have been unable to act even if they wanted to.

  The correct authority in this case would be one of these folks I believe (I’m not a Georgia native):

  sos.ga.gov/form/stop-voter-fraud

  law.georgia.gov/…/election-fraud-complaint-hotlin…

  www.eac.gov/…/register-and-vote-in-your-state?fie…

  In actuality, it might be best to start by just calling these folks (phone number from the page above).

    states run federal elections though, plus there are probably local issues on the ballot too. why are police even there if it’s outside their jurisdiction?

  Report that shit to the Georgia Attorney General. That’s voter intimidation. law.georgia.gov/…/election-fraud-complaint-hotlin…

    This is a bit of hyperbole. If there where trying to intimidate voters they wouldn’t dress up like ghosts. Stay vigilant but didn’t label everything as a conspiracy, some people are just stupid.

      Maybe they watched too much South Park. Dressing as ghosts and burning lowercase Ts on lawns is how they tried to scare the black rich family away.

      If you dont live in America, stfu. We don’t care about your opinion on how Americans are acting towards other Americans. Your small exposure to the population means nothing.

      Ghosts in the south look an awful lot like KKK outside of a voting place.

        By that logic the Pope and the Michelin man look like a members of the KKK

      Be that as it may, people wearing masks or costumes have no place in a polling station.

        I’m not arguing they should be wearing masks in a polling station

      “The law against voter intimidation doesn’t specify specific conduct that is illegal. It specifies that intimidating voters is illegal,” Morales-Doyle [director the Voting Rights Program at the Brennan Center for Justice] said. “And so really, whatever form it might take, if the result is that a person feels uncomfortable exercising their right to vote, then it violates the law against voter intimidation.”

      Even if this wasn’t obviously reminiscent of the KKK, just seeing someone hiding their identity while pretending to be a government official is unquestionably enough to make someone feel intimidated and that it’s an unsafe place to vote.

      I disagree, masked people at a voting place carries an implicit threat of violence… this may be some dumb teenagers or it may be crazy sov cit folks… either way their presence absolutely could scare off people intending to vote.

      People who are obscuring their identity are usually doing so to avoid notice or repercussions for their actions… I think it’s reasonable to expect people in a voting location to be clearly visible and recognizable.

        I agree (in most cases). I’m arguing that these folks are more likely stupid than malicious.
