ATLANTA — U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., should be allowed to run for another term in office despite a push to remove her from the ballot, a state administrative judge recommended Friday after reviewing a challenge to her candidacy.
The decision by State Administrative Judge Charles Beaudrot is a blow to Greene’s critics, who sought to block her on grounds she violated a 14th Amendment clause that bars members of Congress from serving if they tried to overthrow the government.
Although the final say belongs to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, the Republican is widely expected to agree with the judge’s decision ahead of the May 24 primary.
