Appeals Court Hears Bid To Boot MTG From Ballot

Courthouse News reports:

Appealing a federal judge’s denial of her request for a preliminary injunction, an attorney for Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene argued Thursday before the 11th Circuit that a state law voters sued under to challenge her candidacy is unconstitutional.

Under the law at issue, any eligible voter in the Peach State can challenge a candidate’s qualifications by filing a complaint with the secretary of state, who then decides if they can run based on findings presented by an administrative law judge. Greene is set to face Democrat Marcus Flowers in November’s general election.

However, if the appeals court doesn’t rule in favor of her challenge to the state’s law and the Georgia Supreme Court sides with the voters, Greene’s name could either be struck from the ballots or voters will be notified that all votes cast for her will be voided. The 11th Circuit judges did not signal when they intend to issue a ruling.
