Georgia voters seek to disqualify U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for reelection, citing her involvement in the Capitol attack. A federal judge ruled in favor of the voters, allowing them to proceed with legal efforts against Greene. The challenge alleges that Greene’s actions on January 6, 2021, violated the 14th Amendment, which states that individuals who engage in insurrection are ineligible to serve in Congress. Greene filed a lawsuit against the challenge, arguing that the law itself is unconstitutional. However, Judge Amy Totenberg denied Greene’s request for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order. Georgia law allows voters to challenge a candidate’s qualifications, leading to a hearing before an administrative law judge. The challenge was filed by Free Speech for People on behalf of Georgia voters. Greene denies allegations of aiding in insurrection and obstructing the transfer of presidential power. The case highlights the ongoing legal battle surrounding Greene’s eligibility for reelection as a U.S. Representative.
