Judge rules GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene can stay on ballot

A judge in Georgia on Friday found that GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene can stay on the ballot following a challenge to her reelection candidacy.

An administrative law judge in Georgia on Friday ruled that GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene can stay on the ballot for the state's 14th Congressional District following a challenge to her reelection candidacy.

A group of Georgia voters had argued that Greene was not eligible to run for reelection under the "disqualification clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment due to her alleged support for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

In his 19-page opinion, Judge Charles Beaudrot said that the burden of proof is on the challengers and that they "failed to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence."

Beaudrot also said that the evidence in the case was insufficient to establish that Greene "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or [gave] aid or comfort to the enemies thereof under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution."
