I think he and Raffensberger lose their primaries. Whether Democrats can actually win a midterm general in GA when they're in the white house is very unclear though.

This.

The logical primary challenger to Kemp is Doug Collins.

Kemp went from a hero to a zero.  Raffensberger is a bureaucrat who looks like he cucked out with a Consent Decree that he didn't need to sign.  This cuck image spread to Kemp when it became clear that he signed off on the Consent Decree relaxing mail-in ballot verification as well.  Kemp now looks like a guy who rolled over to Stacey Abrams when he didn't have to.  He looks like Stacey Abrams "owned" him.  And, in fact, she did; Kemp (and Raffensberger) were owned by a mentally unstable losing candidate who still insists that she won the 2018 election. 

Nothing hurts a Gubenatorial candidate more than the appearance of being "weak".  Kemp looks weak all around, being pushed around by Stacey Abrams, then being pushed around by Donald Trump.  He's hiding in a bit of a Bidenesque way during the present controversy.  I would not want to be in Kemp's shoes.  His public image has suffered amongst his base, and I would not be surprised if he opts to not run for re-election, or to run for the Senate should Warnock win.

Aren’t Doug Collins and Stacy Abrams actually somewhat friendly with each other outside of politics? I recall hearing that somewhere.

Possibly.

Fuzzy, seriously, come on, you're not going to dethrone Sanchez as the most iconic alt-lite R-FL avatar. You can give it a rest.

There was no reason, other than to stop lawsuits, to sign that "consent decree" which represents a change to state election law not authorized by the State Legislatures.

If it were Brian Kemp making changes to how Georgia's elections are administered unilaterally in a way that didn't favor Democrats, you'd be all over that, and rightly so.  That consent decree needed to be ratified by the State Legislature and it wasn't.  As did every single rule change in every state that implemented mail-in balloting or changed the rules as to mail-in balloting that did not first obtain the approval of the State Legislature for such a change.

This is not some trivial matter; it is a valid Constitutional issue.  It is an issue that protects the ordinary voter from an executive unilaterally changing rules as to how people vote.  The Framers of our Constitution were well aware that "change" wasn't always a good thing.  The relaxing of standards on signature verification on mail-in balloting is never a good thing; that's one irregularity that happened in Georgia.  Everyone's fine with such irregularities when they go their way.  That's also the problem with Constitutional Rights.  Everyone loves THEIR Constitutional Rights, but not so much the Constitutional Rights of others.

This issue is, indeed, bigger than Kemp and bigger than Trump.  It is a legitimate issue of who, exactly, makes the rules for elections.  It is fair to say that it skews the results of elections when some counties follow those rules and some counties don't.
