Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the Republican candidate in Tuesday's hotly contested gubernatorial election, has opened a probe of the state Democratic Party over what his office alleged on Sunday was a failed attempt to hack voter registration systems.

The race between Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams, who is vying to become the nation's first black female governor, has become a flash-point for allegations of voter suppression.
