An official from the office of Kemp, who is running as the state's Republican gubernatorial nominee, told ABC-affiliate WSB-TV on Sunday the FBI was seeking information regarding a woman named Rachel Small as part of the probe.
Georgia Democrats, who have called the inquiry into the supposed unsuccessful hacking attempt on the state's voter registration system Saturday evening a "political stunt," were quick to respond to the report on Twitter.
"BREAKING: Team Kemp is losing their minds," the Democratic Party of Georgia tweeted. "Rachel Small is a volunteer for the Democratic Party of Georgia on our voter protection hotline. She received an email from a man named Richard Wright. She forwarded Richard's email to our voter protection director. Sorry, @BrianKempGA."
