House Oversight Committee Chair Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) on Wednesday sent letters to Georgia's Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), requesting they hand over documents related to reports of voting irregularities in recent state elections.

Kemp and Raffensperger have until March 20, Axios reports, to submit documents concerning the closing and consolidation of more than 200 voting precincts since 2012. Cummings' letters also request information on tens of thousands of voter registration applications that are on hold and voting machines in several counties.
