The Department of Homeland Security told ABC News in a statement that the state "has notified us of this problem," but postponed further comments to the state.



The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment.



The announcement by Kemp's office, which lacked details about the nature or timing of the attempt, was quickly denounced by his political opponents in Georgia as "scandalous" and "100 percent false."



"This political Kemp trick, just a few days before the election, is another example of why he can not be trusted and should not oversee an election in which he is also a candidate for governor," said Rebecca DeHart, executive director of the Democratic Party of Georgia.



Later in the day, DeHart issued another statement accusing Kemp of using "false accusations" to defame his opponent with "a creative but pathetic attempt to cover up his own failures.



"In the last hour it was revealed that Brian Kemp's office, along with the FBI, was notified by a third party yesterday morning regarding a large security vulnerability of Georgia's election database," said DeHart. "It bothered us, but we were not surprised that when Brian" Kemp learned about the main vulnerabilities in the personal information of the Georgians, he did not work to solve the problem. He did not warn the Georgians that their personal information could be compromised. Instead, he launched accusations of political motivation against his political opponents. "



Abrams, who with a victory on Tuesday would become the first African-American woman elected governor in the United States, said The affiliate of ABC News WSB-TV In Atlanta, Kemp was "trying to distract voters with a desperate strategy."

This is not the first time that Kemp has presented allegations about attempts to infiltrate the secretary of state's computer network. Just days after the 2016 presidential election, Kemp requested a federal investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, citing 10 possible unauthorized attempts by DHS personnel to penetrate the state's firewall.



A report from the DHS Inspector General published in July 2017, concluded that the allegations were not substantiated. The investigation determined that the activity reported by Kemp was the "result of exchanges of normal and automatic computer messages" and that there were no unauthorized intrusion attempts.



Voting rights have been a central theme in the campaign over the past few months, and Kemp has resisted calls, even from former President Jimmy Carter, to refuse to oversee an election in which he is running.



Kemp's office has been under fire for weeks after an investigation by the Associated Press discovered that more than 50,000 records, the vast majority of African-American voters, had been suspended because the data in their voter registration requests did not match exactly with other government records.
