Brian Kemp by more than 70 points.</li></ul>A candidate for the GOP nomination for governor of Georgia refused to concede defeat even though she received only 3.4% of the vote on Tuesday.Kandiss Taylor, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, came third in the race.She received significantly fewer votes than David Perdue, who had Trump's formal endorsement, and incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp, who won by 73.7% and secured the nomination.After the results were clear, Taylor complained that the election was "rigged" against her, The <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com./kandiss-taylor-lost-the-ga-guv-race-by-70-points-she-still-wont-concede?ref=home">Daily Beast reported.</a>"We have a national data team working on the 2022 primary election fraud. More will be forthcoming," Taylor campaign spokesperson Christi Maude told The Daily Beast. "Dr. Kandiss Taylor does not concede."(Taylor has a PhD in school counseling and supervision.)Her approach contrasts with that of Perdue, who got significantly more votes than Taylor with 21.8%, but conceded to Kemp on the night of the count.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-endorsed-candidates-not-following-playbook-claim-fraud-when-lose-2022-5">As Insider's Tom Porter wrote</a>, a significant number of Trump endorsees are not following his example in refusing to accept defeat, even when he <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-presses-dr-oz-declare-victory-implying-gop-opponents-cheating-2022-5">explicitly urges them to</a>.Taylor's campaign did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment."Given that my vote total currently lags my number of volunteers by nearly 20,000, I do not trust these election results and neither should any supporter of either of my opponents or candidates in any other races," Taylor said in a press release.Taylor received 41,027 votes."It is my opinion that our elections in Georgia have become a travesty spearheaded by the corrupt, organized, willful assault that Governor Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, Attorney General Chris Carr, and gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams have inflicted on our election process," the press release continued."I do not concede," she wrote.On her Telegram, Taylor shared a message referring to the vote as a "rigged election."Taylor ran her campaign on a "Jesus, Guns, Babies" platform, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gop-kandiss-taylor-says-church-rules-the-state-of-georgia-2022-5?r=US&amp;IR=T">Insider previously reported. </a>During an anti-abortion speech last week she criticized the separation of church and state, a principle that has underpinned US democracy since the American Revolution."We are the church! We run this state," Taylor said.

The primary election will be held Tuesday."The church runs the state of Georgia. This state is sovereign. This is our state. We decide what happens.

But let's get one thing straight: The States didn't give them the right to have Roe versus Wade to begin with!"Taylor's campaign did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A blast set off by "unknown individuals" damaged the Georgia Guidestones, authorities said.</li><li>Vandals and conspiracy theorists have often targeted the monument, claiming "satanic" meanings.</li></ul>A Georgia monument that was shrouded in mystery was demolished after being partially destroyed in an <keyword id="11955830" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="explosion" source="Orion">explosion</keyword> on Wednesday morning, according to authorities.The monument, known as the Georgia Guidestones, was erected in 1979 in Elberton County, Georgia. Known as "America's Stonehenge" for its mysterious origins and prophetic etchings, the structure later became the target of vandals and conspiracy theorists, who believed it had satanic roots.A preliminary investigation revealed that "unknown individuals detonated an explosive device" around 4 a.m. Wednesday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a statement.Surveillance footage posted by the agency on Twitter showed a silver sedan leaving the site shortly after the explosion.No one was injured, but the rest of the structure was destroyed for safety reasons, the department said.A video posted by one Twitter user appears to show an excavator knocking down the rest of the slabs.Who exactly paid for the work and organized its construction remains a mystery, <a href="https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/nobody-knows-how-to-interpret-this-doomsday-stonehenge-in-georgia-5592082/">according to Smithsonian Magazine</a>.One man, Wyatt Martin, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/18/us/a-monuments-mysteries-include-whether-it-can-draw-tourists.html?searchResultPosition=1">claimed in a 2013 interview with The New York Times</a> to know the identity of the individual who commissioned the monument but refused to provide more details."I made an oath to that man, and I can't break that," he told the newspaper.The structure is made up of five granite slabs with a capstone laid on top. Engraved into a few of the slabs are inscriptions in eight modern languages and four dead ones, according to Smithsonian.The <a href="https://www.exploregeorgia.org/elberton/general/historic-sites-trails-tours/georgia-guidestones">Georgia Department of Economic Development describes the inscription</a> as "a 10-part message espousing the conservation of mankind and future generations in 12 languages." It also serves as an "astronomical calendar," the department writes.Some of the messages say to "maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature" and "unite humanity with a living new language."These inscriptions have led some conspiracy theorists to believe that the monument is proof of an elite plot to depopulate the world.Alex Jones, the <keyword id="12123754" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="far-right" source="Orion">far-right</keyword> conspiracy theorist and host of Info Wars, claimed that the structure was a "calling for forced depopulation of the planet" in a video that has since been taken off his website.As part of her campaign for governor of Georgia, Republican candidate Kandiss Taylor recently promised to "demolish" the Georgia Guidestones which she suggested in a tweet is connected to the "Satanic Regime."In her campaign video, Taylor narrates that a "new world order" is here over shots of the slab's inscriptions.She later tweeted on Wednesday that "God is God all by Himself. He can do ANYTHING He wants to do. That includes striking down Satanic Guidestones."The monument was also previously vandalized several times. In one case, vandals spray-painted the stones with messages like "Jesus will beat u satanist," <a href="https://www.wired.com/2009/04/ff-guidestones/?currentPage=1">according to Wired magazine</a>. Not everyone may be celebrating the destruction of the monument, which has also been called <a href="https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/29025">America's Stonehenge</a>.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/06/us/georgia-guidestones-explosion.html">In an interview with The Times</a>, Matt Clamp, a local businessman who helped his father engrave the stones, said he was "heartbroken" by the destruction and hopes that it can be rebuilt if allowed. "People were always coming up with some kind of crazy whackadoodle story about them," he said in the interview.

Kemp was elected in 2018 as a Trump ally running on a decidedly conservative platform. But Kemp fell out of favor with the former president — first over his <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-kemp-loeffler-georgia-senate-appointment-mood-soured-meeting-book-2022-3">selection</a> of political newcomer Kelly Loeffler for an open US Senate seat, and then after the governor certified President Joe Biden's 2020 election victory in Georgia and defended the integrity of the state's voting process. Trump then endorsed Perdue, who lost reelection to now-Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff in a 2021 runoff election, to face off against Kemp. Perdue has also attacked the integrity of Georgia's elections and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/david-perdue-says-he-wouldnt-have-certified-the-georgia-2020-election-2021-12">said</a> he wouldn't have certified the 2020 election had he been governor.Other Republicans who challenged Kemp include far-right activist Kandiss Taylor, human resources professional Catherine Davis, and political newcomer Tom Williams. Kemp managed to win outright and avoid a runoff against Perdue.When Perdue <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/david-perdue-challenge-brian-kemp-2022-georgia-governor-republican-nomination-2021-12">entered</a> the gubernatorial race in December, his endorsement from Trump and the force of the former president's 2020 election claims were seen as invaluable assets in a GOP primary, as Kemp's popularity had appeared to wane among many MAGA grassroots supporters.However, Kemp rebounded politically, outraising Perdue and running a stream of advertising while the former senator largely went dark on the airwaves during the last week of the race.The governor also took advantage of the high visibility and power of his role, signing into law conservative pieces of legislation passed by the GOP-controlled legislature including a <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/20527915-sb-202-as-passed">restrictive election law</a> and a bill <a href="https://legiscan.com/GA/text/HB1084/2021">limiting</a> the discussion of race in public schools.<keyword id="12285104" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="stacey-abrams" source="Orion">Stacey Abrams</keyword>, the 2018 Georgia Democratic gubernatorial nominee, has cleared the field to lock up her party's nomination to challenge Kemp in what will be one of the most hotly-contested governor's races of the <keyword id="11994983" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="2022-midterms" source="Orion">2022 midterms</keyword>.In 2018, Kemp narrowly <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/georgia-governor">edged out</a> Abrams by a 50.2%-48.8% margin, or 1.4 percentage points.Democrats are hoping to build on Biden's 2020 <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/joe-biden-wins-georgia-democratic-party-south-presidential-election-2020-11">victory</a>, along with the 2021 runoff <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/raphael-warnock-jon-ossoff-georgia-senate-shifting-demographics-religion-stimulus-2021-1">victories</a> of Democratic Sens.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp defeats David Perdue in a major repudiation of Trump

Brian Kemp is futile because Kemp won't be able to unite the MAGA and establishment wings of the GOP in time to beat presumptive Democratic nominee <keyword id="12285104" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="stacey-abrams" source="Orion">Stacey Abrams</keyword> this fall. "He has divided the party. So I'm very concerned that he's gonna have a hard time pulling us together again in November," Perdue, who recent polls show is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-ditches-david-perdue-amid-high-profile-endorsement-flops-2022-5">trailing Kemp by 30 points</a>, told supporters during a campaign event in Augusta, Georgia. Whether he's trying to convince himself or others about the relevance of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-endorsement-success-rate-average-performance-vote-percentage-gop-primaries-2022-5">Trump's endorsement power</a>, the last-minute pitch has resonated with locals who view Kemp's break with the former president over the 2020 election as disqualifying. Perdue supporter Sharon Fry, 65, told Insider she worked on Kemp's first gubernatorial bid in 2018. And the only reason he narrowly defeated Abrams last time was because the MAGA world lent its support. "It took Donald Trump's endorsement. It took everyone getting behind Brian Kemp — even people that did not support him in the runoff," she said of the concentrated effort it took to shore up the 50,000 votes that kept the state from flipping blue. "Brian Kemp does not have all the support this time." Trump has orchestrated much of that erosion, spending the last few years lashing out against Kemp, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and Republican officials in other swing states where Joe Biden beat him in 2020.Trump's non-stop attacks on RINOs, which stands for "Republican in name only," still carry weight with diehard fans who miss the chaos he created while in Washington. Bikers for Trump founder Chris Cox aired his grievances against RINOs Friday night, proclaiming that by defying Trump's wishes, Kemp, former Vice President Mike Pence, and former President George Bush have proven they are more aligned with Biden than MAGA. "We've already got someone in the 'Let's Go Brandon' administration who's doing the opposite of Donald Trump," Cox told attendees <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-david-perdue-bikers-for-trump-rally-2022-5">during a rally</a> for Perdue and freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Cox added that being part of the status quo means Kemp's got to go. "Georgia deserves a governor more like Ron DeSantis," Cox said, praising the combative Florida Republican and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-ron-desantis-president-election-campaign-2024-florida-2022-2">potential 2024 presidential contender</a> for relentlessly sticking it to the establishment. Gordon Country resident Christie Ellis, 50, talked Insider through her reservations about Kemp. She started out saying that she wasn't sure Kemp could beat Abrams in the anticipated rematch this November, but the conversation then took a darker turn. "What good does it do? What's it matter?" Ellis said of giving Kemp a shot at reelection, given that he only "represents the Stacey Abrams areas" anyway. "I don't think it would matter if he did beat her. Because, I mean, it's a wash," Ellis predicted. Amy Rose, 44, who said she voted for Kemp in 2018, expressed a similar sense of alienation.Rose told Insider she's supporting Kandiss Taylor — the woman running on the "Jesus, Guns, and Babies" platform — for governor because every other GOP candidate has left her behind. "It's just the same old thing, over and over again, whether it's Democrats or Republicans," Rose said of her disillusionment with mainstream <keyword id="11893346" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="politics" source="Orion">politics</keyword>.
