Judge rules Georgia voters can challenge Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's reelection run

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge on Monday ruled a group of Georgia voters can proceed with legal efforts seeking to disqualify U.S Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for reelection to Congress, citing her role in the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The challenge filed last month with the Georgia secretary of state’s office alleges that Greene, a Republican, helped facilitate the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that disrupted Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. That violates a rarely cited provision of the 14th Amendment and makes her ineligible to run for reelection, according to the challenge.

Insurrectionists and their media.

The Courts have held firm ever since the insurrectionists sniffed power, even as they continue to sniff, the Courts hold firm.

That's not going to happen in time.

"Georgia law says any voter who is eligible to vote for a candidate may challenge that candidate’s qualifications by filing a written complaint within two weeks after the deadline for qualifying. The secretary of state must then notify the candidate of the challenge and request a hearing before an administrative law judge. After holding a hearing, the administrative law judge presents findings to the secretary of state, who then must determine whether the candidate is qualified."


From OP linked article.


Best to support Marcus Flowers if you want Greene beaten, which is still a stretch in a district that went 80% for trump.

He is so calm, measured, and even in his ideology - and is able to put it into simple language.

More of this - please more of Mr. Flowers!

ETA - he didn't knock any other Democratic Party Candidates - just MTG. He outraised her.
