Well, this could be anything.

The fact that it's up to the governor to “ascertain” who the state's electors are is a weak link in this whole process, at least in Georgia.
But in, say, Michigan, it's a very good thing right now
Best case this is nothing, worst case Kemp wants to steal our state's electoral votes. If he tries someone should sue immediately
If the Electoral College came down to Georgia it might be different, but considering it doesn't, my best guess is that Kemp will declare Biden's slate as the correct slate of electors. But hard to say for sure.
You can watch Kemp's press conference on GPB or on his official Facebook page. gpb.org/events/news/20…
Kemp is now speaking…
Can't tell which direction this is going…
Kemp notes the audit did not look at signatures…
Kemp calls on Raffensperger to audit the absentee envelopes (without matching them to ballots) and backs photo ID for absentees
Kemp is now getting to the results
Kemp notes certification gives Trump the opportunity to seek recourse through a recount, which implies he will not be stealing the election here
And it's over.
Okay, here's what I think we just saw. Kemp is signaling that:
1) he thinks Trump's lies about fraud are legitimate, but despite this,
2) he will not unilaterally award the state's electors to Trump.
