After Kemp’s arrest, Kemp signed an election-fighting bill into law on Thursday, making Georgia the first presidential battleground to impose new voting sanctions since President Biden’s victory. The new law imposes new voter identification requirements for absentee ballots, empowers state officials to take charge of local election boards, restricts the use of ballot drop boxes and makes it a crime to line up to provide voters with food and water.
The move, known as the Election Integrity Act of 2021, saw former President Donald Trump make repeated, unsubstantiated allegations of fraud, as Republicans needed to boost confidence in the election after the 2020 election. Kempe predicted on Thursday that critics of the new law would “threaten, boycott, sue, create monsters and tell me everything about the book together with their friends in the national media.”
