An effort to keep Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) off the ballot this year over accusations that she was involved in the January 6th Capitol riot has been defeated.

MSN Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who had final jurisdiction on the congresswoman’s eligibility, accepted the ruling of a judge Friday that will allow Greene to seek reelection. A group of voters in her district made the case that she could not run again for office under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a Civil War-era clause that bars from public office anyone who has aided in an insurrection or rebellion.

Administrative Law Judge Charles Beaudrot made the recommendation that she remain on the ballot Friday afternoon, and Raffensperger confirmed that decision shortly after. Raffensperger was not expected to remove Greene, who is popular in her conservative northwest Georgia district and among Trump supporters nationwide. 

KXAN “In this case, Challengers assert that Representative Greene’s political statements and actions disqualify her from office,” Raffensperger’s decision said. “That is rightfully a question for the voters of Georgia’s 14th Congressional District.”

Greene applauded Beaudrot’s decision and called the challenge to her eligibility an “unprecedented attack on free speech, on our elections, and on you, the voter.”

“But the battle is only beginning,” she said in a statement. “The left will never stop their war to take away our freedoms.” She added, “This ruling gives me hope that we can win and save our country.”

Similar efforts to use the Jan. 6 fallout to prevent other House members from reelection have also failed. An Arizona judge threw out a measure to ban Republican Reps. Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar, as well as state Rep. Mark Finchem (who is running for Arizona secretary of state) last month, and efforts against Reps. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) and Jim Banks (R-IN) failed as well.

Greene’s awesome gun ad is already banned on Leftist media.
