The coronavirus has forced Georgia to revisit a 70-year-old law targeting the Ku Klux Klan.
Gov. Brian Kemp signed an executive order temporarily suspending 1951 legislation creating a misdemeanor offense for people who conceal their identities while on public property — a law passed to combat klansmen.
Kemp said the order allows Georgians to were protective facemasks during the coronavirus pandemic without having to worry about a run-in with the law.
“I signed an order to allow Georgians to wear masks in public to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 – in accordance with CDC guidance – without fear of prosecution,” Kemp tweeted.
The order as written legalized “wearing ‘a mask, hood, or device by which any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer’ if that person is wearing such device for the purpose of complying with the guidance of any healthcare agency or to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

Most states have these laws in the books, but some were smart enough to include language about intent to conceal ones identity.
I guess Georgia wasn't one of those states.

Do news outlets just not have proofreaders anymore? Were they furloughed?

No. I was drunk.
I just reread what I wrote. That was embarrassing.
I’ll leave it unedited to remind me about drunk posting.
Yikes.

You seem disproportionately upset about this to a very large degree.
Edit: just read your follow up. Good on you for being transparent
