"Kemp signs multiple bills into law in Georgia"
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has signed a bill that prohibits county election offices from receiving private donations, including from nonprofits, for election costs, making it a felony offense. The law is a response to concerns raised by Georgia Republicans over private donations funding electoral infrastructure, particularly after Mark Zuckerberg's Center for Tech and Civic Life poured over $400 million into election offices across the US in 2020. Georgia received approximately $45 million from the Zuckerberg-funded organization, with the majority going to Democrat-leaning counties. This law is part of a nationwide movement to ban private funding of elections.
