Kandiss Taylor, the “Jesus, Guns, Babies” candidate who ran for the GOP nomination for governor in Georgia, received just 3.4% of the vote, finishing in third place well behind Kemp and Perdue. And she’s _refusing to concede_. “Election was rigged.” > **[Trump loyalist who lost Georgia governor primary with just 3.4% of the vote...](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-loyalist-who-lost-georgia-governor-primary-with-just-3-4-of-the-vote-is-refusing-to-admit-defeat/ar-AAXQk5y?bk=1&ocid=msedgntp&cvid=13142d72514b475ea0e08a0cef58d2c2)** > > Kandiss Taylor came third in Georgia's GOP primary election, losing to Brian Kemp by more than 70 points. Despite this, she is refusing to concede. In case you’re wondering how much of an ass-whipping a Trumpist candidate needs to take before they’ll admit that they lost, 70 points is not enough. ---

One must consider that she did get 39,345 votes. So, there are that many people in GA actively voting in her favor. Yikes! ---

I’d be willing to bet a small amount that this was her plan all along – run the lowest denominator campaign that appealed to the most ignorant and reactionary, and (of course) fail miserably, and then make her mark by refusing to accept the results. She can ride that for a while until she gets a gig on right-wing media, because everyone (over there) loves a nutcase as long as they’ve proven themselves by getting publicity for their nuttery. ---

John Oliver did a bit on this yesterday (although he says in the video he recorded this before the vote was done…he still got it right). And yes, although it is titled “Rocks” this is the correct video. She’s so much worse than: JESUS GUNS BABIES The crazy is real (for example, she wanted to demolish the [Georgia Guidestones](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones) because they are part of the “Satanic Cabal”…you just can’t make this shit up).

I had never heard of the Georgia Guidestones before this woman’s campaign against them came to my attention, and while I certainly don’t think they are part of some vast evil Satanist conspiracy…they do some pretty fucking weird. ---

I’d never heard of the Guidestones, either. But I have a friend who lives in Georgia and is a professor of astronomy (I only mention this because I think it’s cool, just like the fact that the wife of an old friend is the mayor of a little town in Colorado) who I asked about the Guidestones, and I could almost _feel_ his eyes rolling via text message. He’s familiar with the Guidestones. Ironically, he’d never heard of Taylor. ---

Amusingly, the wikipedia article on the Georgia Guidestones, linked above, mentions Kandiss Taylor, calling her “a minor candidate.” It also looks like she’s far from the first person to call them Satanic. I don’t think they’re Satanic, but there is more than a whiff of eugenics to some of their “guidelines.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/remember-the-jesus-guns-babies-lady-who-ran-for-governor-in-georgia/965331.md?page=2)
