The office of Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp recently posted a public spreadsheet containing the home addresses and contact information of nearly 300,000 absentee voters, including disabled, elderly and active-duty military personnel. Shortly after releasing the information, he declared victory in his contentious race for governor against Democrat Stacy Abrams.
The public disclosure of this private information is standard practice, according to Kemp's office, but still raises the specter of voter intimidation just as his campaign for governor declares victory over Abrams.
Candace Broce, the spokeswoman for the secretary of state, said the office has been publishing the information for more than a decade – in compliance with state law. She said the office has never faced legal challenges or lawsuits for the practice.
Broce also said the state's VoteSafe program, enacted in 2009, is a way for voters to maintain their privacy in the face of the intrusive law.
Kemp, who was elected secretary of state in 2010, has been criticized for closing a number of polling places across Georgia during his tenure. An analysis by The Journal-Constitution found that nearly 8 percent of polling locations have shut their doors since 2012 -- that's 214 fewer precincts for Georgia voters to cast their ballots in.
