Kemp announces probe into his Democratic foe Abrams for cyber crimes

Georgia secretary of state Brian Kemp (R) is in a close gubernatorial race with Stacey Abrams (D) just hours before Tuesday's election. Kemp announced a probe into the Democratic Party for "possible cyber crimes" and ironically, it's his office that would be doing the investigating in this case, it was announced Sunday.

The polls show the two candidates are neck-and-neck--it's a toss-up at this point.

"Federal partners" and the Department of Homeland Security and FBI have been notified as well about the "failed attempt to hack the states' voter registration system" as of Saturday night, Kemp's office said.

Kemp Press Secretary Candice Broce said in a press release: "While we cannot comment on the specifics of an ongoing investigation, I can confirm that the Democratic Party of Georgia is under investigation for possible cyber crimes. We can also confirm that no personal data was breached and our system remains secure."

Naturally this was met with self-righteous indignation by the left. A spokeswoman for the Georgia Democratic Party was as angry as a hornet caught between the cheeks of a donkey writing that the "scurrilous claims are 100 percent false" and badmouthed the probe as "another example of abuse of power" by the secretary of state.

Both the FBI and Kemp's office didn't immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

Kemp said he wouldn't recuse himself as Georgia's secretary of state if his race goes to a recount, in spite of the fact that it's his office that oversees recounts. Imagine the fun if it does and he wins.

"This political stunt from Kemp just days before the election is yet another example of why he cannot be trusted and should not be overseeing an election in which he is also a candidate for governor," Georgia Democratic Party executive director Rebecca DeHart said in a statement.

Speaking Sunday on the Comedy News Network's "State of the Union," Abrams echoed that criticism, and accused Kemp of constantly trying to suppress votes.

I do see their point about Kemp recusing himself because if it was the other way around, and it was the Republican Party being scrutinized, I'd want a separate office doing the investigating.

However, that doesn't mean that the Democrats are not guilty, but Kemp's office better hurry up--the election starts Tuesday morning.

It's funny, however, I wouldn't be totally surprised if it was Oprah or Obama who messed with the system.

On Friday, a federal judge struck down Kemp's implementation of the states' "exact match" voting requirements whereby voters whose registrations differed in any way from their identifications to provide additional verification. Under Kemp, the requirements imposed stringent requirements of people suspected of being in the country illegally.

The Democrats are counting on illegal voters and they're trying to get here by the caravan load.
