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.
