On April 6, the Georgia Secretary of State filed this brief in Greene v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:22cv-1294. This is the case in which congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene seeks to stop election officials from holding a hearing on whether she meets the constitutional qualifications to run for re-election. The challengers believe she is not qualified, under the Fourteenth Amendment, section 3, concering “insurrection.”
The state’s brief insists it has a right to determine whether congressional candidates meet the constitutional qualifications.
