Federal judge allows effort to disqualify Marjorie Greene from ballot to proceed
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.
