Georgia Voters Petition to Keep Marjorie Taylor Greene Off the Ballot Because She 'Engaged in an Ins
Voters in Georgia have filed a legal challenge to keep Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) off the ballot, alleging she “engaged in an insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021.
A 42-page notice of candidacy challenge was filed to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger this week. It claims Greene encouraged the storming of the U.S. Capitol last year.
A group called Free Speech For People, citing a clause in the 14th amendment, claims Greene is not eligible to serve in Congress:
The Challengers in this action, registered voters in the 14th Congressional District, submit this written complaint to Brad Raffensperger, Secretary of State of Georgia, alleging that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a candidate for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, does not meet the federal constitutional requirements for a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives and is therefore ineligible to be a candidate for such office.
As set forth below, after taking the oath to defend and protect the Constitution, before, on, and after January 6, 2021, Greene voluntarily aided and engaged in an insurrection to obstruct the peaceful transfer of presidential power, disqualifying her from serving as a Member of Congress under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and rendering her ineligible under state and federal law to be a candidate for such office.
