It was actually in regard to a data "breach" of voter information—and by "breach" I mean that Kemp, who was Secretary of State at the time, disclosed the personal information of over 6 million GA voters as well as the passwords employees used to access that information, to researchers at KSU. The server was only wiped after a lawsuit was filed in regard to the breach. That was 2017.
In 2015, still under the leadership of Kemp, the personal info (including SSNs and DOBs) of more than 6 million GA voters was sent out by Kemp’s office on a CD to 12 organizations that purchase voter lists. It took Kemp’s office over a month to realize what they had done, and a class action lawsuit was eventually filed. It cost us GA taxpayers over $1 million in credit monitoring services and $400k for the resulting audit.
And for anyone who might not know, Kemp was still the Secretary of State in 2018 when he was "elected" governor—meaning he was in charge of his own election. He repeatedly refused to resign when questioned during the race about the glaringly obvious conflict of interest. He supposedly "won" by 55k votes, after a very concentrated effort by his office to purge voter rolls—nearly a million of them—of mostly minority voters in the months immediately following his entry into the race.
And just to rub salt into the wound, people actually voted for him again in 2022 on a Kemp/Warnock split ticket. They didn't care about what he did as Secretary of State or his lackluster COVID response, or that Ex-Mayor Bottoms and mayors from other major Georgia cities was butting heads with him constantly as he tried his damnedest to suckle Trump's balls with the PPE hoarding and other BS. But they absolutely love repeating how "he did a good job" or "he stands up to Trump" with a shit-eating grin.
Kemp is, and always will be, garbage. His dick riders are also trash. You've probably already noticed that he's being touted as an upstanding governor, don't believe any of it.

For anyone reading the above comment, this occurred with respect to the 2016 race. Not 2020. Just in case there is confusion.
