It seems that a frightened Brian Kemp is worried that all of his voter suppression efforts won’t be enough to steal the Georgia governor's seat:
The office of Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the state's Republican gubernatorial nominee, said Sunday it has opened an investigation into the state's Democratic Party for possible unspecified cybercrimes after an attempted hack of the state's voter registration system.
His office says “we cannot comment on the specifics,” that it’s about “possible” crimes, but don’t worry, “our system remains secure.” In other words, a blatant abuse of power for a political stunt two days before the election.
The Georgia Democratic Party Executive Director responded:
“To be very clear, Brian Kemp's scurrilous claims are 100 percent false, and this so-called investigation was unknown to the Democratic Party of Georgia until a campaign operative in Kemp's official office released a statement this morning,” she said. “This political stunt from Kemp just days before the election is yet another example of why he cannot be trusted and should not be overseeing an election in which he is also a candidate for governor.”
