Electoral controversies [ edit ] Kemp retained his office asGeorgia Secretary of State throughout the campaign, leading to allegations of a conflict of interest for overseeing an election in which he himself was a candidate. During the campaign, he was called upon by former president and former governor of GeorgiaJimmy Carter [ 269] NAACP andCommon Cause to resign from the secretariat position. Kemp refused to do so[ 270] state Democratic Party of hacking into the state's voter database a few days before the election; however, an email released shortly after the accusation was made showed the party warning election security experts, highlighting "massive" vulnerabilities within the state's My Voter Page and its online voter registration system, not an attempt to hack the database, as Kemp had claimed.[ 271]
Irregularities in voter registration occurred prior to the election. Between 2012 and 2018, Kemp's office canceled over 1.4 million voter registrations, with nearly 700,000 cancellations in 2017 alone.[ 272] [ 273] The Atlanta Journal-Constitution [ 274] [ 275] voter suppression to increase his chances of winning the contest.[ 275] [ 276] [ 277]
TheWashington Post reported that "more than 200 polling places" across Georgia were closed in the 2018 election, "primarily in poor and minority neighborhoods. Voters reported long lines, malfunctioning voting machines and other problems that delayed or thwarted voting in those areas."[ 278] Atlanta Journal-Constitution found that "precinct closures and longer distances likely prevented an estimated 54,000 to 85,000 voters from casting ballots" on the 2018 Election Day.)[ 279] [ 280]
On November 12, 2018, U.S. District Court JudgeAmy Totenberg ruled that Georgia's secretary of state office must take steps to preserve provisional ballots and begin counting them.[ 281] [ 282] [ 283] Leigh Martin May ruled thatGwinnett County violated theCivil Rights Act in rejecting absentee ballots with missing or incorrect specified year of birth of the absentee voter.[ 281]
On November 16, 2018, Abrams announced that she was ending her campaign. Abrams acknowledged that Kemp would be certified as victor, while emphasizing that her statement was not a concession, saying "I acknowledge that Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor of the 2018 gubernatorial election. [...] But let’s be clear, this is not a speech of concession because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper."[ 7] [ 284] [ 285] [ 286] [ 287] [ 288] standing to sue.[ 289] [ 290] [ 291] Voting Rights Act .[ 292] [ 293] [ 294] [ 295] [ 296] [ 297] [ 298]
Since losing the election, Abrams has repeatedly claimed that the election was not fairly conducted[ 299] [ 300] [ 299] [ 301] [ 299]
On November 9, 2018, theAtlanta Journal-Constitution [ 302] Atlanta Journal-Constitution found "an estimated 54,000 to 85,000 voters" were impacted by changes, such as precinct closures in the aftermath ofShelby County v. Holder . However, it found that Abrams would have need up to 67% of the votes at "ideal voting locations" for a runoff to occur.[ 279]
In his 2020 book, University of California law professor and election law expertRichard L. Hasen described Kemp as "perhaps the most incompetent state chief elections officer" in the 2018 elections and said it was "hard to tell" which of Kemp's "actions were due to incompetence and which were attempted suppression."[ 303]
According toWashington Post Glenn Kessler writing in September 2022, Abrams repeatedly falsely claimed that she "won" the election, that the election was "rigged", that it was "stolen", that it was not "free and fair", and that Kemp had "cheated". Kessler said that "Abrams played up claims the election was stolen until such tactics became untenable for anyone who claims to be an advocate for American democratic norms and values".[ 284]
