Georgia's GOP Candidate for Governor Caught on Tape Complaining That So Many People Are Voting

Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp is running for governor against Stacey Abrams, who could very well become the first black woman to become the governor of a U.S. state. He’s running amidst charges that he’s trying his best to stop black voters from casting ballots, and some new audio obtained by Rolling Stone should do nothing to dispel that notion.

At an event in Atlanta last week, Kemp lamented the fact that a whole lot of people are voting. From Rolling Stone, which received the audio from someone who attended the “Georgia Professionals for Kemp” event:

Not long after Kemp began his remarks, the candidate expressed worry about early voting and “the literally tens of millions of dollars that they [the Abrams camp] are putting behind the get-out-the-vote effort to their base.”

Kemp then asserted that much of that Abrams effort is focused on absentee ballot requests. “They have just an unprecedented number of that,” he said, “which is something that continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote—which they absolutely can—and mail those ballots in, we gotta have heavy turnout to offset that.”
