After announcing a last-minute probe of the Democratic Party of Georgia for “possible cyber crimes,” the Georgia Secretary of State’s office — which is still being led by GOP gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp — released some more information on the probe Sunday. In total, the office has released three paragraphs of information about the probe, but has offered no evidence to support it, leading Democrats to allege that Kemp has used his office in a political attempt to tilt Tuesday’s election. The most recent statement from Kemp’s office reads:
“We opened an investigation into the Democratic Party of Georgia after receiving information from our legal team about failed efforts to breach the online voter registration system and My Voter Page. We are working with our private sector vendors and investigators to review data logs. We have contacted our federal partners and formally requested the Federal Bureau of Investigation to investigate these possible cyber crimes. The Secretary of State’s office will release more information as it becomes available.”
Brian Kemp: “They turned me into a newt!”
Except security is so bad there is no way they can do that. This is a failure of Kemp that he is trying to deflect. Why TPM cant put this out there is beyond me.
Hmm…who to believe? The Party of Watergate and Russia-gate/Wikileaks-gate or the Party that’s perennially victimized by dirty tricks?
The Party of dirty tricksters like Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, Rudy Guliani, Roger Stone, and Mitch McConnell or the Party of Barack Obama?
This move reeks of desperation, as if both sides do this. They don’t.
The entire Republican sphere is looking like that. It is one of the things that gives me hope this week. Dumb ass, easily visible horse hockey being thrown about gratuitously. It speaks strongly that they are in deep trouble. But it also says that if they succeed, they feel there will be no repercussions (Keep that in mind over the coming days).
I know I’m an old fart, but I long for the days when an election was decided by the issues.
