A Georgia law enforcement agency would have authority to initiate investigations of election crimes under the latest voting regulation approved by the Republican-controlled state Legislature.
ATLANTA — A Georgia law enforcement agency would have the authority to initiate investigations of election crimes under the latest voting regulation approved by the Republican-controlled state Legislature after former President Donald Trump made repeated, false claims of widespread voter fraud.
The measure — passed on the last day of the session — still requires Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s signature to become law. Katie Byrd, a spokeswoman for the governor, said Tuesday that Kemp’s office was reviewing all legislation passed by the General Assembly. House Speaker David Ralston, a Republican from Blue Ridge, said the GBI authority was not a partisan reaction to the 2020 election.
