A state judge upheld the decision of the Secretary of State to keep her on the ballot after voters tried to disqualify her under the Fourteenth amendment.
The primary election watch party will be held in Rome, Georgia.
The Fourteenth Amendment bars Americans from serving in Congress if they have engaged in an insurrection, but Judge Christopher Brasher of the Superior Court of Fulton County said that was not a reason for voters to challenge Greene's candidacy.
Brasher heard the case after an administrative law judge had previously ruled in her favor and recommended the Secretary of State let her stay on the ballot.
The coalition of voters that brought the case appealed the secretary's decision to the Superior Court, arguing that it was based on "errors of law" such as blocking the challengers from gathering more evidence.
The voters hadn't adequately shown how their rights had been prejudiced through his decision, which is required for their challenge to succeed.
Brasher argued that the administrative law judge was correct to reject the voters' push for a more extensive discovery process and that he used an appropriate definition of "engaging" in an insurrection.
Brasher stated in his opinion that the administrative law judge had the right to make his decisions. The group hasn't made a decision about appealing his decision to the Supreme Court.
In addition to challenging the voters attempt to disqualify her, she argued against him and tried to appeal his decision. The section of Georgia law that allows for challenges to politicians' candidacy was the subject of a court filing by Rabunsperger.
69.6%. That is how much of the vote he got in Georgia's primary election. In the general election, she will face off against Marcus Flowers, a former official with the Departments of State and Defense.
The 14th Amendment states that anyone who takes an oath of office and engages in insurrection or rebellion against the U.S. government can't serve in congress. Georgia voters from Greene's district filed a lawsuit in March arguing that he should be disqualified because of statements he made in support of the January 6 rioters and the Capitol attack. After a day-long hearing on May 6, Administrative Law Judge Charles R. Beaudrot affirmed Greene's candidacy. The court is not persuaded by the evidence that the congressman was an insurrectionist. The judge allowed Greene to remain on the ballot in the primary and general election despite the fact that Raffensperger had refused to block him from the ballot.
Georgia voters can appeal the decision to stay on the ballot.
There will be a midterm ballot.
Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't recall any role in the capitol attack.
