"Georgia Governor Kemp Signs Controversial Bills Impacting Local Prosecutors and Early Voting"

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has signed a bill that creates a commission with the power to remove local prosecutors from office, which Democrats have criticized as a power grab. The bill would create an oversight panel that could recall any of the state’s elected district attorneys or solicitors general for several reasons, including “willful misconduct” or “persistent failure to perform his or her duties.” Atlanta-area prosecutor Fani Willis, who is considering bringing charges against former President Donald Trump and his allies over 2020 election interference, has been one of the most outspoken opponents of the legislation.
