Georgia judge rules GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene can stay on the ballot following a legal challenge to her reelection candidacy.
Following Raffensperger adopting the judge's ruling, Free Speech for People, the organization representing the challengers released a statement saying that the"decision betrays the fundamental purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment's Disqualification Clause and gives a pass to political violence as a tool for disrupting and overturning free and fair elections.
In his opening statement, Greene's attorney James Bopp, argued that the voters of Georgia's 14th Congressional District have the"right to vote for the candidate of their choosing. And they have a right to have their vote counted," adding that Greene was not a perpetrator but a"victim" of the attack, which he argued was"despicable" but not an insurrection.
"I would have to talk to people on my campaign, but I don't think we did," she said."How would we have done that? We didn't do anything like that."
