So this is pretty insane:

Chester Doles, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazi National Alliance, is running for office as a Republican in Georgia, per The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Doles, who spent decades in the KKK, including as Maryland's Grand Klaliff, filed paperwork earlier this year to run for a spot on the Lumpkin County Board of Commissioners in 2022, the paper reported.
He served four years in prison in 1993 after being convicted on federal charges related to the beating of a Black man in Maryland. In 2003, he was arrested on federal firearms charges and spent four more years in prison.
The paper said that Doles also had been linked to the Hammerskins — a white-supremacist "skinhead" group.
He marched with the group in the 2017 Unite the Right rally, the deadly white supremacist demonstration in Charlottesville, Virginia, according to The Washington Post.
In 2019, Doles described himself as a "fourth-generation Klansman."
He said that his politics is now "in line with all Republicans" and added that he's a supporter of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution describes Doles as an "ardent supporter" of former President Donald Trump.
Also had another stint in prison for some kind of weapons charge.
You would think all that would be enough to make him lose but he is running for office in a conservative town so its pretty much a lock he will win.
