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?

    Even not dressed up in some Halloween stuff, I wouldn’t be fond of the idea of people, county employee or not, taking pictures and video in a voting area. There is one reason to be there, and that’s it. Someone higher up needs to answer for this if such a “ghost trend” video taking was ordered, and what the hell is that anyway?

      They know exactly what they’re doing. Trump’s base loves this shit. They think they’re clever any time they can get away with expressing racism with any type of even semi-believable deniability.

        Probably a dry run. If they get away with ‘ghosts’, they’ll show up with KKK robes next.
