A Republican state senator has joined the ranks of those requesting Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp release public records detailing how a massive data breach in the office happened and exactly how outside groups handled more than 6 million voters' personal information.
State Sen. Bruce Thompson, R-Cartersville, also seemed to express doubts about how Kemp has handled the gaffe, which The Atlanta Journal-Constitution made public in mid-November.
“Many of us do not share your office’s confidence that this information has not been copied to another disk or computer, and that the risk has been mitigated.” Thompson wrote Friday in a private letter to Kemp, a copy of which was obtained by the AJC.
