Former United States President Jimmy Carter has travelled the world observing elections to find out if they are fair. Carter also is a former Democratic governor in the American state of Georgia. Now he is turning attention to an election in his home state. He is asking Republican candidate for governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, to resign from his current position as secretary of state. As secretary of state, Kemp oversees the state’s elections, including his own for governor against Democrat Stacey Abrams. Carter wrote, “Popular confidence is threatened not only by the undeniable racial discrimination of the past…but also because you are now overseeing the election in which you are a candidate.” He added in a personal letter sent to Kemp, “I urge you to step aside and hand over to a neutral authority the responsibility of overseeing the governor’s election.”
