The signatures don't match the person being registered. They don't meet federal guidelines, not state guidelines. Kemp's decision is made because the law prohibits him from allowing them through. These same standards, by the way, Abrams was completely understanding of when Abrams's New Georgia Project didn't live up to the expectations. The New Georgia Project would routinely fail to sign-up enough minorities, and she would justify her inability to meet those expectations by citing federal guidelines similar to the one Kemp is using. Then, however, she didn't have a problem with it.

Well, now that it benefits her to pull the race card, not so much...

Actually, it is correct, but we'll let that slide because nothing I say is going to change your mind, and I'm cool with that.

Do you see a problem with the person in charge of conducting an election being a candidate in it?

If you can show me where I'm incorrect then I'll gladly change my mind. I don't care enough about these allegations to take them personally.

The truth is that the signatures don't match with those whose names are on the ballots. There are a few that are incorrect birthdays, too. The violations are due to federal regulations, not Kemp enforcing state regulations. 

I can see it potentially being a problem, sure. I don't doubt that it looks bad, but it doesn't mean he's influencing the election. Your argument would hold more water if he was enforcing vague state laws, but these are clear violations in reference to federal regulations. As for the federal judge, the judge is legislating from the bench. He's saying that they have to stop following the law and then change how they respond to violations of the law.
