   A judge in Georgia on Friday found that U.S. Rep. Marjorie   
   Taylor Green can run for reelection, rejecting arguments from a   
   group of voters who had challenged her eligibility over   
   allegations that she engaged in insurrection. But the decision   
   will ultimately be up to Republican Secretary of State Brad   
   Raffensperger.   
      
   State Administrative Law Judge Charles Beaudrot announced his   
   decision after a daylong hearing in April that included   
   arguments from lawyers for the voters and for Greene, as well as   
   extensive questioning of Greene herself.   
      
   State law says Beaudrot must submit his findings to   
   Raffensperger, who has to decide whether Greene should be   
   removed from the ballot.   
      
   The challenge to Greene’s eligibility was filed by voters who   
   allege the GOP congresswoman played a significant role in the   
   Jan. 6, 2021, riot that disrupted Congress’ certification of Joe   
   Biden’s presidential election victory. That puts her in   
   violation of a seldom-invoked part of the 14th Amendment having   
   to do with insurrection and makes her ineligible to run for   
   reelection, they argue.   
      
   During the April 22 hearing on the challenge, Ron Fein, a lawyer   
   for the voters who filed the challenge, noted that in a TV   
   interview the day before the attack at the U.S. Capitol, Greene   
   said the next day would be “our 1776 moment.” Lawyers for the   
   voters said some supporters of then-President Donald Trump used   
   that reference to the American Revolution as a call to violence.   
      
   “In fact, it turned out to be an 1861 moment,” Fein said,   
   alluding to the start of the Civil War.   
      
   Greene is a conservative firebrand and Trump ally who has become   
   one of the GOP’s biggest fundraisers in Congress by stirring   
   controversy and pushing baseless conspiracy theories. During the   
   recent hearing, she was defiant as she was questioned under oath   
   by Andrew Celli, another lawyer for the voters. She repeated the   
   unfounded claim that widespread fraud led to Trump’s loss in the   
   2020 election, said she didn’t recall various incendiary   
   statements and social media posts attributed to her and denied   
   ever supporting violence.   
      
   At times, when confronted with evidence of a particular social   
   media post or comment that she said she didn’t remember, Greene   
   said her staff sometimes operated her accounts or that her words   
   were being misinterpreted or were twisted by news outlets.
