“Marjorie Taylor Greene will remain on the ballot”

AJC:

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will remain on the ballot for re-election, Georgia’s secretary of state’s said late Friday. The decision came after a judge ruled earlier in the day that challengers who had tried to disqualify Greene because of her support for the failed insurrection at the U.S. Capitol “failed to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence.”

“Challengers make a valiant effort to support inferences that Rep. Greene was an insurrectionist, but the evidence is lacking, and the court is not persuaded,” State Administrative Judge Charles Beaudrot wrote in his decision.

Greene on Friday applauded the decision and said it “gives me hope that we can win and save our country.”

”Democrats know they can’t beat me at the ballot box, so left-wing Communist activists tried to rip my name off the ballot,” she said. “And they failed.”

The developments were a blow to Greene’s critics, who said she violated a 14th Amendment clause that bars members of Congress from serving if they tried to overthrow the government.
