...as her campaign slogan. Kemp beat her and Perdue, Perdue conceded but not Kandiss. She claims Jesus told her to go door to door with a notary and ask people who they voted for and notarizing their answers... Kandiss got like 3% of the vote.
There's a lot wrong with every aspect of Kandiss and her actions, but the audacity and the illegality of her actions are being excused because "Jesus told her to".
