ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia's secretary of state says more than 6 million people can sign up for a year of free credit monitoring after his office released voters' personal information.
Brian Kemp announced Thursday that his office will contract with CSID. Kemp has said his office recovered 12 discs that contained all registered voters' Social Security and drivers' license numbers and dates of birth.
Kemp said Thursday that he's still confident voters' personal information is secure but people deserve "peace of mind."
Kemp has said a technology employee didn't follow department rules and has been fired.
The League of Women Voters of Georgia this week asked Gov. Nathan Deal to order an independent investigation. Kemp's office hired the Deloitte auditing firm to review his office's technology operations, at a $395,000 cost.
