Max Flugrath, the communications director for Fair Fight Action, a voting rights advocacy group in Georgia, wrote on X that the state's law was clear, "Kemp has the responsibility. The AG's opinion leaves a gaping hole where accountability should lie."
In another post, Flugrath cited legislation that allows the state's governor to conduct a hearing on formal charges raised against Election Board members.
According to Flugrath, Georgia Code ยง 45-10-4 says, "If such charges are found to be true, the Governor shall forthwith remove such member from office."
CNN legal analyst Norman Eisen agreed with Flugrath, describing the ruling as a "shocking abdication of responsibility."
"Leadership is stepping up and dealing with illegality, not burying your head in the sand," he wrote in a post on X.
Democratic state Senator Nabilah Islam Parkes, who had called on Kemp to act against the Election Board members, wrote on the platform: "The attorney general is providing cover for the MAGA election board members. His opinion is engaging in intellectual dishonesty.""We have received the opinion and just as he has done in the past, the governor will follow the laws and constitution of our state," Garrison Douglas, Kemp spokesperson, told CNN on Friday.
