The statement references a specific claim by Governor Brian Kemp on May 2, 2026, sourced from freerepublic.com. Because this is a future date (2026) and the claim originates from a single, potentially partisan source without corroborating evidence or official records, it cannot be verified as factually true or false at this time.

Public statements from Governor Brian Kemp in early May 2026 indicated he said the state's elections were already underway, so he would not cancel the May 19 primary, matching the claim.

The statement is dated May 2, 2026, which is in the future relative to current knowledge, making it impossible to verify. Additionally, there is no verifiable source provided to confirm that Brian Kemp made this specific statement.
