Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp says he'll stand his ground in response to corporate backlash over a newly enacted law seeking to advance the integrity and fairness of elections in the state following the election rule changes made during the pandemic that led to controversy surrounding the 2020 election result.

“Free and fair elections are the foundation of who we are as a state and a nation. Secure, accessible, fair elections are worth the threats, they are worth the boycotts, as well as the lawsuits,” Kemp told reporters during a press conference on April 3.
