Earlier today, Better Georgia released an audio recording of Georgia's Secretary of State speaking about the Nov. 4 election: "Democrats are working hard...registering all these minority voters that are out there and others that are sitting on the sidelines, if they can do that, they can win these elections in November." LISTEN TO KEMP'S FULL SPEECH Secretary Kemp started his speech reminding the conservative crowd about ACORN's voter registration efforts. "Everybody remembers ACORN right?," Kemp asked. He went on to reassure the room that Republicans shouldn't worry about voter fraud in Georgia, especially if voters use the new online voter registration tool. And Secretary Kemp ended his speech saying, "we need to make sure we continue to do that so we can win this U.S. Senate race, make sure Governor Deal gets re-elected." Secretary Kemp's words in this speech -- the words in his full speech -- show that he intends to act in a partisan manner. But his actions speak even louder than his words. Just this week, a couple of months after giving that partisan speech, Secretary Kemp filed subpoenas against a Georgia-based non-profit group in an effort to generate headlines about "voter fraud." The subpoenas are broad and vague and are intended to thwart voter registration -- not stop voter fraud. Kemp's actions are nothing more than a partisan attack. Better Georgia will continue to fight for the sacred right of every legal Georgia voter to register and cast a ballot.
