    Former President Jimmy Carter has devoted much of his post-presidential life to observing elections overseas. He is asking GOP gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp to step down from his position as Georgia secretary of state "to ensure the confidence of our citizens."

    Former President Jimmy Carter has personally urged the Republican candidate for governor in Georgia to resign from his position overseeing the state's elections. Carter lodged his appeal to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp in a letter dated last Monday and first obtained by The Associated Press.

    The contents of the letter were confirmed to NPR by a spokesperson for the Carter Center, the former president's across the world.
