evidence: Georgia lawmakers passed a bill on their final day of session that would give new election policing powers to the state’s bureau of investigation. [...] Under SB 441, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation would be able to launch a probe without being called in by another law enforcement agency. The bill also gives the bureau the authority to subpoena election records with signoff from the state’s attorney general. Currently, state election officials investigate fraud allegations. [...] "What we’re looking for is GBI to investigate conspiracy to commit election fraud, if it is necessary and giving them the investigatory discretion to do so. I think these are germane in subject matter and that’s why this bill was picked," said Burchett in explaining the last-minute addition to the bill in a key committee meeting on Monday.
