I was thinking of the wrong election. When the state gets sued over votes and those votes just so happen to be erased, that is suspicious af. But that wasn't 2018. Kemp wasn't running in the election where GA wiped the hard disks, but he was in charge at the time.

The 2018 election where he was able to remove voters from the registry and close poll sites is just standard conflict-of-interest, I suppose.

Or in a non-conspiratorial vein, it's literally his job to remove obsolete voters from the registry and ensure there are enough (and not too many) polls to keep costs in line.

I don't know anything about that guy to know if he's acting in good faith or not. I don't live in Georgia, and I've only been there for a couple days ever in my life. Maybe he's a corrupt pile of crap, or maybe he was just doing his job. The news on this is crazy slanted, but it seems like he was at least acting within the law.
