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?
If this was a school party or something I would have no problem with it. (I actually support that as ghost is an easy fun costume)
The problem is that this is a voting booth. It is probably unintentional but I still think it is highly questionable.
Well, the bottom line is we have little context except for the response email and the appearance of the costumes. So avoiding pure conjecture and not assuming the worst in people:
Those are ghost costumes, worn by I’ll advised staff.
