Georgia AG Shields Election Board from Investigation

Attorney General Chris Carr rules Governor Kemp is not required to investigate board members over new election rules.

  • Georgia Democrats sought Kemp's intervention against pro-Trump board members who changed election rules.
  • The new rules allow local boards to delay certification of results through undefined 'reasonable inquiries.'
  • Attorney General Carr's opinion states citizens cannot force the Governor to act based on submitted information.
  • Critics argue the decision leaves a lack of accountability for the board's actions.
  • The ruling provides political cover for Kemp, who has a complex relationship with Trump.
