According to interviews conducted by The Associated Press and records released by the Georgia Democratic Party, the saga built steam quickly in the days before Kemp’s statement. But the citizen had separately informed the Georgia Democratic Party, whose voter protection chief then sent an email to two computer security officials. DeHart called it a “political stunt” to cover up the weaknesses in a system Kemp runs.

Kemp’s office laid the blame for that breach on Kennesaw State University, which managed the system on Kemp’s behalf.
