Georgia Governor Brian Kemp told a federal judge that a temporary restraining order granted in a suit by former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell threatens to disrupt the state’s Jan. 5 runoff election that will determine control of the U.S. Senate.
The order seeks to preserve data from the Nov. 3 election in three counties while Powell pushes for a forensic audit of Georgia’s Dominion Voting Systems Inc. machines. But restrictions in the order mean the “run-off election will be significantly hindered if not practically precluded altogether,” unless the order is altered soon, Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, both Republicans, said in a filing late Thursday in federal court in Atlanta.
