Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Wednesday signed into law a bill that would authorize the state’s top law enforcement agency to launch investigations of voter fraud.

The measure, SB 441, gives the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) the power to initiatie probes of alleged election wrongdoing without a request from an outside official. Previously, only the secretary of state’s office was responsible for probing alleged election violations.
