Georgia Secretary of State and GOP gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp had problems with his voter ID when he went to cast his ballot on Election Day.

“It turns out his voting card was invalid,” a reporter with Atlanta’s WSB-TV revealed in a video report on Kemp’s issues voting at his polling place in Winterville, Georgia.

According to the Georgia Secretary of State website, voters must present a Georgia driver’s license, government employee ID, valid U.S. passport, valid military ID, valid tribal ID or a free voter ID card distributed through a country registrar or Department of Driver Services Office.

The ABC affiliate did not explain what the issue with the GOP candidate’s identification was and added that Kemp was eventually able to cast his ballot.

"Kemp was eventually able to cast his ballot."

What, no "PROVISIONAL BALLOT"? Appalling! Voter fraud! Lock him up!

4. He's too stupid to be governor.

Our voter reg system was hacked, ID information was stolen, he (criminally, IMO) disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of voters, shut down 216 polling places, etc and now this.

5. But he eventually did get to vote. I doubt most people he disenfranchised will be

as lucky.

7. There is no such thing as a "voter card" in Athens-Clarke County. GA.

I live in the same county as Brian Kemp does. You are registered with a specific address and name. You are not registered by party affiliation. There is a list of approved photo IDs.

When you present an approved voter ID, the name on your UGA ID or other approved non-drivers license photo ID or the name and address on your driver’s license must match the voter list info at the precinct polling place.
