ATLANTA — A federal judge has denied U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's request to block a challenge of her eligibility to run for a second term in office.
That challenge, filed by five voters in Greene's 14th Congressional District, is slated for a hearing in a Georgia administrative court on Friday. Attorneys for the voters plan to argue that Greene's actions leading up to and on the day of the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot make her ineligible to serve, citing a Civil War-era provision in the Constitution that bars members of Congress who supported an insurrection from returning to their seats.
Judge Amy Totenberg of the Northern District of Georgia wrote that the voters' challenge is serious and deserves a full vetting.
